Toadstool splitting?

[bsfmaximus]

my leather toadstool is about 7 or 8 inches in diameter when fully extended. In the past few weeks I have noticed a permanent indent on one part or the top that has now seemingly become cut, from the edge to the middle. Do toadstools split? Does this appear to be splitting if so?
This picture was from tonight after the lights went blue. The "cut" is just to the left of the curled part.

I've seen other leathers drop clones before so it wouldn't surprise me if a toadstool would do it too.

looks rather normal. i especially wouldnt be worried if it is opening up everyday.

Common form of reproduction.

I had read that they "drop clones" like you said reef lover, but couldn't find anything about splitting. This looks like it is trying to do a clean split in two. I am not going to worry and just sit back and enjoy the ride. Thanks for the reassurance!

Three methods of reproduction, spawn, budding and lateral fissure.

as long as everything tests well I wouldn't worry, they're pretty hardy

Mine is doing that now.. They do it all the time.
