Default Mushroom Propagation

I was fragging some mushrooms to give to a local reefer and decided to blow the dust off of my camera and take some photos.

you make it look so easy! How do you keep them from curling up?

I try to cut the shroom as far down the stalk as possible when removing it from the rock. They really don't curl up on me too bad.

Default Keeping from Curling

Hello, I have found this to be the case with my mushrooms as well. So, what I did was, I used my 12" tweezers and put them underneath the mushroom so it was in the middle with the (wings) flapping over the tweezers then I gently lifted them to force the mushroom to a semi closed position and cut the base then. It works most of the time.
Hope this helps!
