I have been trying to get this toadstool to stand but it can't. It keeps like moving itself around in a 360 degree fashion and it came off the frag plug. The person who had it let it grow on the side (as in, it had attached itself on the stalk which is that tear/streak you see on the stalk). I was tempted just to cut the bad part off the stalk but I don't want it to spew out its awful goodness.

Any recommendations?

Cut off the decaying piece with a razor blade, and then poke a toothpick through the stem about 1/2 inch up from the base.

Attach the toady to a piece of rubble/rock with a rubber band around the rock and the toothpick.

In a week or two it will have attached to the rock.

Remove toothpick and rubber band. All done.
