attach neglecta?

Anybody have any tips on getting a neglecta to attach? This thing will not attach to anything. I'm tempted to "sew" the thing onto a rock. I have been keeping it out of direct current and it receives medium light.

I think indirect strong current is better then direct strong current.

As I always say for getting mushrooms to attach, try the shotglass method.

Get yourself a small container or glass, fill it up with LR rubble, pretty close to the top. Place the shroom on the rubble and attach some tuille netting over the top and secure it with a rubber band. The netting should be snug against the shroom, but not squishing it. Place the cup in a low flow area for a few weeks, then check to see if it has attached. I've done this many, many times and the shrooms generally will have attached within a week or two. HTH.
