looks like a hairy mushroom of some type.

It does look like a "frilly" shroom. Have you looked underneath does it have a stem? If it does, then that's what it clould be, just remove it as usual and trade it away. Use hammer and chisel to get some of the rock off with the shroom or else it'll grow back again

Trust me they split I bought 1 a year or so ago and it has spawned 12-15 clones of it's self.

Hairy, fuzzy, frilly, shaggy, whatever,... this is the type of shroom you got my friend. Grows and replicates itself well under wide range of light conditions but, under MH, can grow to 3"+ across, projecting rays nearly an inch above the disc. They can easily become a solid carpet that will obscure the rock they grow on, as well as the round individual nature of the polyp, causing an almost star polyp field appearance. Like em'. R2
