How to attach loose mushrooms
I have never had mushrooms that were not attached to at least a small piece of rock....That is until now....Does anyone have any tips on how to get them to attach? I have a ton of flow in my tank and have no idea how to get them to attach to anything...Any advice would be greatly appreciated....

Superglue Gel right to the base of the mushroom and attach to rock...otherwise i try to place the 'shroom onto a piece of LR thats not in a high flow area and put its base into a natural crevasse in the rockwork...

I agree with Reef.
you can use glue, but it is best to let nature take it's course |

Try placing the mushroom in a shallow dish (something like a sour cream container with the upper portion cut off) and fill the bottom with gravel, rubbles, shells, or something similar. Place the mushroom in the container and cover with a mesh like bridal veil. Use a thick rubberband to keep the mesh in place. This will give the mushroom an area without heavy flow. It should be well attached to a piece of rubble within two weeks. If the rubble is not heavy enough to hold down the mushroom, you can glue the rubble to a larger rock, etc., without getting any of the glue on the mushroom and risking a chemical burn. Good luck!
