Should I leave this on the frag plug? Will it grow over?

I heard that with mushroom you can just cut them at the base and place them where you want. Should I do this and take the frag plug out? It looks ugly

you can cut it but then will need to put the mushroom somplace with low flow and give it something to attach to.
This. I bought a st Thomas Mushroom a few months back and placed it in a container of rock rubble to attach then removed it and placed the peice of rubble it was attached to into the DT where I wanted it. I have no place in my tanks that has low enough flow to place an un-attached shroom without it getting blown around.
EDIT: I've not had any luck trying to glue softies. I've always had to let them attach naturally.

Which takes a lot of time usually. I would jut break off the stem from the frag and glue the base. Or see if the mushroom is already attached to a little piece of something under it and that may be glues to the plug. Just break that off.
