Any tips and tricks on fragging these guys. I've heard about razor blade and such. I have a bandsaw and have fragged pretty much everything but mushrooms. What tips do you have?

Thanks in advance

Razor blade works wonders. In my experience while using a bandsaw, the bounce would shrink and you risk not making a cut through the middle.

Best of luck

I second the razor. You want to get part of the mouth on each piece. Granted I know many who also just chop a mushroom up into little pieces, but on a high end mushroom I would want mouths on all.

Thank you guys, I think I will use a razor blade and cut in half. It's a little hard to find the mouth with the bubbles covering it up lol

I havent fragged it yet, I dont want to burst any of the bubbles because they are so dense near the mouth. Waiting for it to grow a little more and then will give it a try
