Hi Luna thanks for the kind words. From old system to now its been a super steady shroom only build trying to get kinks worked out and dialed in to meet quite a few of my premadonna shrooms needs lol.
Here's what I mean about placement.
When I got my Og godzilla it was on a frag plug. I took frag plug and glued it to disc so its sitting up instead of laying flat like here.
Over time they naturally want to climb down to lay flat especially if you get them room to do that around them. Over time she's probably dropped me 7 or 8 babies while she walked down the plug onto disc and finally onto tile like shown here.
This technique has worked for all the shrooms ive tried it with
And yes I dont like to cut shrooms in half. In my experience most shroom are super susceptible to pathogens and my success rate after year 3 has been about 2 out of 15 shrooms honestly.
That being said I look around the feet for little pieces of foot stretching away from base of stem like a little booger with a empirical cord attached. I just cut the cord and break the little booger off and thats what ive seen the most of with Discos. You don't want to damage the base though.
Also you may see a little piece of foot that looks webbed out around the base. These are just natural babies your cutting off and will speed up the process with them turning into mini shrooms lol.
Here's a piece of webbing I'm trying to describe.
Just cut it at base of stem and remove it from mom and should end up with a nice little baby in no time.
I have a foot booger thread in mushroom forum showing progress on some booger ill go grab a link

Here's that link
