Decided it was time to clean up some mushrooms on the ends of a couple of prybars. I was going to simply grind them down but then I thought why not use my portable bandsaw and take advantage of the stand I made and just cut them off.

This is a photo of the first mushroom cap cut off
The bottom side of the cut
Then I went after the second mushroom cap and cut it off
The bottom side of the cut ,,,,YIKES!
That crack was a big mess so I took off another slice which just broke apart during the cut
I wanted to get to the bottom of this so I took off another slice
...and another
..and one more to be sure
Finally, no more cracks. But it was an interesting lesson and I'm glad I decided to cut off the caps instead of grinding them down.
Here's a summary comparison
