those are not worms...they are the mushrooms insides lol. When a mushroom gets really stressed out they will throw those things out. Once the mushrooms settles and bit and the thing stressing the mushroom leaves or stops they will suck them back up so to say.

Yes that is what it is,and yes it is ok for your crabs to walk all over them.Mushrooms are very hardy and if your parameters are good the should multiply rapidly.For exaqmple i bought three super red mushrooms about 8 months ago,i now have about 25 and keep growing.By the way anybody in our area willing to trade i would be more than happy.
