After reading the tools and precaution article proceed with the instructions below.

Method 1:
Mushrooms can be tricky to fragment as they do shrivel when disturbed. Quickly separating these with a sharp razor blade or scissors works well. Cut from center out leaving the mouth/center disk attached to each piece. Place the new cuttings into a 1/4 deep plastic cup bottom that has aquarium water and a rubble substrate so the pieces can attach. Next, place netting over the cup and secure it with a rubber band. These can go into your main tank. Allow at least two weeks for the mushrooms to take hold of the rubble. Epoxy (reef epoxy) the rubble pieces with mushroom attached to a larger rock.

Method 2:
Wrap a rubber band or piece of thread around the mushroom that you want to separate and over time it will do so on its own.
