Closure reported on Climbing.com, Dec. 31st, 2007 MORE INFO >>>
"Sometimes called the single best boulder in the world, the Mushroom Boulder at Hueco Tanks, Texas, has been closed to climbing to protect the soil, plant life, and possible archaeological resources under the rock. The boulder, located at the base of North Mountain, was closed by Hueco Tanks State Historical Park in mid-December."
Please be sure that the boulder isn't restricted if you plan to climb there in the future. Hopefully, climbers will be able to get some dialog going with the park managers to deal with this issue, reopen the boulder, and mitigate climber impact in the future.

People either tended to find this or Center significantly easier than the other, for me, this was the harder. Start on the same 2 handed crimp as Center, move up and left to a triangle pinch, then right up to a gaston, set your feet on bad things and go left to a knob gaston and cross to a right sidepull or go left again into the sidepull as a gaston, grab a couple of crimps and pop for the hueco at the lip. Celebrate the fact that you never have to loose skin on the problem again.
