Hey Big Al
I have not done this but know it is pretty common.
I have even read a thread (on another site- I think) about putting a mushroom in a blender and putting the slurry in a frag tank and producing a large number of new shrooms. This thread had pics of multiple people using this technique with sucess.

If you are worried about the mesh netting you can always put some small rock rubble in a glass and put your newly cut shrooms in a glass (4 shot glasses) then place the glass in your tank. The sides of the glass will protect the new frags from the flow and they will eventually attach to the rubble on their own.
A whole shroom usually attaches within a week. I dont know how long it may take for a frag to attach.

Good luck.
Im sure others will soon chime in with personal experience.
