Use gel Super glue you can get it just about anywhere... you need to take the rock out and dab it dryish put some glue where you want it to be and put it there wait about 1min and put it back in your tank...

I have tried superglue, superglue gel, aquamend....all on those type of mushrooms....You might be able to glue the rock, but you can not glue the mushroom...it will get off..this just happened to me last night as a matter of fact.
What was suggested to me was .....get a piece of wedding net (craft section) and rubberband the mush to a rock....(to me from Renogaw)
That is my next try when I get home tonight...ALSO...It is not supposed to be good if you get glue on the mush itself...(I've heard)

I do this about TEN times a week... I have had maybe 10 come off... so I don’t know what you are doing wrong...

You could also put the ric in a small container w/ some LR rubble and put the mesh over it w/ the elastic to adhear it to the container, in a week or so the ric will attach it's self to a piece of the rubble then you can put him anywhere in the tank you like, you can put the piece of rubble with the attached ric in a hole in your LR or you can glue it with the super glue gel to your LR and either way no harm will come to your ric
