Is my toadstool trying to split?

[Sophie"s mom]

Hey all and happy Friday! So I noticed this yesterday on my toadstool. And today it is even more noticeable. It literally looks like a small piece is trying to break away. Does this happen with toadstools? Is something else happening? I have just never seen this before.

Just so it’s clear, it has always been pretty happy, and the polyps are closed in this photo but usually open.

Hey everyone, so this little piece is even further along on splitting now. I am thinking about cutting it to complete the split as not much is left before it totally breaks away. I have heard in the past that you can run a piece of fishing line thru them so they can attach to a rock. Can someone here walk me thru this process. The "foot" is very small as the whole piece is only the size of a quarter. Thanks to any and all help provided.
