How to cut a Toadstool

I recently picked up a Toadstool that's mounted on a frag disk with post. I'd like to cut the Toadstool off of the disk, or maybe cut off the post...any suggestions how to do that without hurting the Toadstool?

 

what color toad stool is it? and you should be able to take a pair of angle cutters and cut the post off. Some toad stools don't do well with cutting or moving.

 

Green

 

what are the disks/posts made of? I tried to break it with a pliers...but that didn't work

 

This was what I watched when I thought I was going to frag mine.

I've always been too chicken. IME Leathers get infections really easy if they have exposed tissue from cuts/tears. They also are somewhat of a pain to mount, I would just leave it on there and break off the end.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhf_86twRkg [style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f5f5f5"]well...that scissor-action was downright barbaric...suppose it works though ...but, maybe I'll try to cut the post again...I'll try the angle cutters this time[/style]

 

just use a pair of strong wire cutters or if you have a pair of bone cutters.  I usally just cut it off with a sharp pair of sissors.

 

yeah...I was being too timid. The post broke clean off with some tin snips. Thanks for the help !!

 

that scissor video is fun....be alot more fun if it was realistic, the cutting i can see, the one week attachment time...not so much, and they conveiniently forgot to mention the dead loss. I've never cut a leather more than once at a time and it took a good twp to three weeks to heal and attach

 

After cutting the post, I glued the disk down where I wanted it. But, I had to take it out of the water to cut it...so, the stool is still a bit 'freaked'...it hasn't opened up yet...hopefully it won't take 2 to 3 weeks to get over it...lol

 

Yeah I agree, I think it would take a week just for the polyps to come back out, and then another couple weeks to attach to anything.
