can you glue ric's

[dallas612]

how do you get ric's to attach to the rock? i tried a rubberband but i think i took it off too early. can i super glue it?

You can use superglue if it has sand attached to its foot.Just make the sure sand attached to its foot and the rock you are placing it on are dry.Superglue can be tricky if you try gluing it to a wet surface

(take a towel and barely touch the mushrooms foot and rock to get it dry)

Glue may work but the vast majority of the time it won't with mushrooms. Even if they have some sand attached to the base, they have a way of "sliming" out of the glue. No matter how dry it is when you glue it, they will somehow worm their way out of the glue. I always try with my rics because it is easier but 9 times out of 10, it doesn't work.
Best way is get a small container, cover the bottom with some small rocks or rubble and put the rics in. Cover it with some mesh from any hobby store(i use the mesh packaging on alot of kids toys), put it back in the tank and wait. After7-10 days, you should have an attached ric

Yea i have done that too,i just figured he dident have space for a container.

You'd be amazed how small some are now!
The supertarget near us has tupperware containers of EVERY imaginable size now. Some are like the size of a shot glass and work perfect for shrooms.

I'm using a new clean cup that you would take cough syrup with a shell in the bottom.

That should work if it isn't to small. Just make sure you cover it with some mesh and a rubber band to keep it from getting blown away.

i normally super glue a piece of toothpick to a rock, and the other end i just stab it into the shrooms. it works good for me w that method.
