Toadstool Leather

 

  I have a toadstool leather that hasn't opened in a month. No polyp extention at all. Everything else seems to be growing well. I have moved it around without success. It has good color. The stalk looks like it is calcifying? It looks like there is a film of green algae (very minute, under magnifying glass) on the stalk.

  I have cleaned the top of  the cap. Should I try to clean the stalk and can I remove the toadstool from the water to do it? It is on its own small rock.

 

Thanks

 

 I have read about them not opening for a week or so, I just worry that it hasn't opened in a such a looong time! No slime, just a calcerous crust forming  up the stalk toward the cap and the green algae on the stalk. Good mottled color. No sick white!!
