As of snapshot 14w25a, harvesting a Huge Mushroom block with a Silk Touch tool will yield only a Huge Mushroom block with data value 14 (in other words, with the cap texture on all six sides). This means that aside from either spawning the items in, or planting and growing a Huge Mushroom in a specific position, it is impossible in survival mode to get any of the other data values for the Huge Mushroom block.
I feel that the easiest solution to this would involve Shears.
The suggestion: You can use Shears to trim off the cap texture (replacing it with the inner pore texture) by right-clicking on any face of a Huge Mushroom block. Of course, this would use up durability on the Shears, and destroying the Huge Mushroom block would yield the original data value 14 Huge Mushroom block (in case of making a mistake while trimming).
Being a nerd is nothing to be ashamed of. Nerds rule the world! Who invented the internet? Nerds. Who created personal computers and smart phones? Nerds. Who made every video game you've ever played and ever will? Still nerds. Who sent probes to distant planets? Nerds, nerds and more nerds! I'm a nerd and I'm proud.

Thoughts?
Yeah it is annoying that you can only get that type of huge mushroom.
