How do mushrooms in an aquarium multiply?

Question

Little ones appear out of nowhere, near the colony but not touching any other mushrooms. So how do they appear there?

Answer 1

If they are on live rock sometimes when you get live rock they can be damaged but in time after you get them they can multiply in the crevises and cracks and live  

Answer 2

If I am not mistaken, mushrooms multiply through the use of spores. These spores can land pretty much anywhere, depending on water circulation, and sprout a new mushroom, or colony if enough food is provided.  

Answer 3

They throw out spores just like land mushrooms do. Hope this helps!!

Answer 4

mushroom coral polyps are not fungi.they do not parasite anything.the polyp reproduces asexually.the offspring are copies of the parent coral

they "split" and you can propagate them with a razor blade.also budding @the base.

Answer 5

hmmm...  ok, on land, the actual organism that is the mushroom is underground. The part on top that you see is just it's s*x organ (I know, right? what are we eating again?  ugh!) So if you see a lot of one kind of mushroom in an area, know that it's all part of one single organism under your feet!

So, if you're talking about the same kind of mushroom (and not some marine fish creature that I don't know anything about) then I'd assume it was all under the substrate and sprouting up that way. :)

BTW, the largest organism yet discovered in the entire world is actually a mushroom located in the Yellowstone National Park area in the US. cool, huh?
