Mary Lou, try cutting through the old or mother rhizome with a knife.   
Sometimes I will take out about a quarter inch slice.  I do this early in  the 
season when I want to move only a portion of a clump, but it should also  work to 
slow down the spread of rot.  My paring knife is one of my  most valued garden 
tools.
