Glue down mushrooms?

Do you have to glue down mushrooms to your LR or do something else of the sort to get them to attach? Or can you just place them there and let them do their thing?

Are your shrooms totally free-floating as in not attached to anything? If they are on rubble, you can superglue (with gel) the rubble to the live rock.
If they are free-floating, you can put rubble into a shallow dish, and put the shooms on top of the rubble. You will then need netting of some sort. Secure this neting over the top of the dish so that the shrooms don't float away.
If you have intense lighting, put this dish somewhere shaded in the tank. It will probably take a week or two for the shroom(s) to attach to the rubble.

They're on rubble, I just sort of placed them on my rock. So now I need to take out that rock and glue them?

If the rubble can sit on the rock and it will stay, then the mushrooms will eventually grow onto that rock, but if you need to keep the rubble in place on the rock then you could glue it.
