Welcome
On the reds, don't worry if you didn't get part of the mouth. The cup that was recommended to use was just to allow them to attach to rubble and then you can remove them. You don't need the cup, as I never used one, but I had a few disappear (blown somewhere). Glue the rubble the mushroom is attached to or wedge them in their new location. I personally haven't done any Rics, someone else may be able to answer that question. I would say you should start to see them heal in a week and growth a few weeks after that. They also spread by themselves without being manually propagated.
