Oxygen don't matter if only bacteria left to consume it. Then I could start over with 400 pounds of dry rock and grow lots of hair algae. Mushroom problem solved!But think of the Oxygenating Power you'll get....
Hey John, how big is your tank? It would take me 5 weeks to give all my mushrooms a lethal dose. Then my alk would be like 34 DKH!concentrated lye solution, needle + syringe - be done in 5 min

Should have used comic sans font (is that a thing on this site? Leftover habits of RC) I was kidding about the alk. Total water volume with sumps has to be over 500 gallons so no worries about chemistry. I have just come to realize that it is like plucking eye brows. They will always grow back.no, wrong.
Try it, try it, you will see. (Wear some eye protection, keep out of reach of children.)
If you are worried about chemistry just do a little more every day and watch your chemistry. If your tank is big - well worry less!
You scrape the mushroom into pieces using the metal straw, and the pieces are small enough to get captured in the vacuum created by the siphon. Very little messy detritus is left in the tank. Basically like scraping your rock clean, without having to remove it.What are you using for the suction device? It would have to have some serious suction to get all of the mushroom without leaving part of the foot. I have a similar problem and would like to try this.
