Best glue

What is the best glue to use, when gluing shrooms to live rock?
Thanks

It's been my experience that shrooms and glue don't mix. Try a loose fitting rubber band, or nylon mesh to hold it in place until it attaches normally.

How exactly do you use the rubber band?
DO you place it around the shroom and the rock?

A better question would be does the rubberband go all the way around the shroom and the rock and sandwich them together?

Thanks

Get crushed coral
get shallow tupperware bowl
place 1" crushed coral in bowl
place shrooms in bowl
cover bowl with screen or mesh
shrooms will attach to crushed coral
pull shrooms out
glue crushed coral attached to shroom bottom to rock or plug
repeat
