to what are you trying to attach the mushroom? i used super glue gel to attach mine, and it worked great.

Rubbah band, man. WILD as the Taliban.
My LFS uses rubberbands to hold coral down and let it attach itself to the rock or whatever.
Toule (wedding veil material) plus a rubber band is also a good way to hold them down while they reattach on their own.

I have put some cc in a small container with the mushroom and covered with wedding viel for about a week thensuper glued the cc that it attached to to a rubble rock or frag plug.

you can use a rubberband or put the shroom on the rock and wrap the rock with some netting. it will attatch in a couple of days.

I've had luck just placing the detached mushroom in a live rock crevice or crannie (where the water flow couldn't move it). They usually attach in a day or two.

Cool sight! Every time I try I make a slimy mess and lose the mushrooms in my tank.

From my experience...
When you are using gel superglue, you need to make sure that you dont get any on the mushroom. This will cause them to let go of the sand, cc, or rock that it is holding onto in about a day or 2. The best way in my opinion is to put it in a crevice where the water flow wont bother it and let it attach itself, or to use wedding veil and a rubber band. Every time i attach them, they just detach themselves and end up where they want.
