Hello all I've got a nice 3" tck gumdrop I'm looking into fragging. I've never frag a shroom and was wondering if they need a mouth or are they like toadstool or devils hand and just really need a piece of flesh. Any advice would be great. Thanks.
 
Mine split naturally fairly quickly, if you want to just wait it out. From what I hear they split often. If not agreed with just cutting in half, although I have never done with this one.
 
You can encourage it to split by wrapping a rubber band around the shroom so that it goes across the mouth. After a couple weeks remove the rubber band and cut where the rubber band was at. This is how I propagate my bounce shroom. IMO, without the rubber band they take much longer to recover.
