Propped shrooms not cooperating

I originally put this on the shroom forum but I think it would be better here...

I fragged some ricordias a few weeks ago and they aren't cooperating. They have healed well and are looking like normal mushrooms again but they refuse to attach to the rocks that I have them on. I am using a fine plastic mesh (much like bridal veil) to keep them on the rock but after two weeks they still hadn't attached. In addition I tried a small container filled with rubble and the cuttings in there haven't attached either. Any suggestions?

PS-Am I just being impatient or what? It's been nearly three weeks...

They will take at least 14 days to attach. They need to be in a lower light area with very little water flow.. Patience, grasshopper !!!!

there is a detailed article on www.garf.org about fragging shrooms. I think there is even some video..
