I might have killed my disco....

[D'sreef]

So, I had a disco mushroom that was on a rock that is my Pandora zoa colony. Just found it a week or so ago. So have doing research and watching a few videos, I decided to remove said mushroom and place it in a box with rubble. I did manage to remove the mushroom and it's foot ( separately via scalpel), and place it in the home made mushroom box (RIP my wife's Tupperware that was new). Down side is I mangled it pretty badly. What's the chances that I just murdered my freebie? And what can I expect, and how long do I need to leave said box in before I throw it out.

So you sliced the foot clean off? Could still recover but it might be a while before it reattaches and where you cut the foot, it should grow a new shroom. IDE say u got a 50/50 chance. Slicing the foot clean off could be enough trauma to make the shroom melt over the next few days who knows. All you can do now is wait and observe

If you just cut it today then it will look shrivelled and withered, you should see it improve in a day or two. I've reached in with scissors and cut mushrooms off at the stem and they usually recover.
