From looking at the rock, it's probably easier to remove the mushroom.

Get small cuticle scissors or a scalpel and remove the mushrooms. You can cut up the mushroom fairly well and rubber band it to a rock once you get it loose. The zoos are harder to mount after cutting.

how would i do that with the rubberband? can you elaborate a little more

get cheesecloth or some mesh cloth and put that around the mushroom to hold it down then rubberband the cloth down to the rock.

Just cut the mushrooms off and leave them on your sand bed. When ome sand is on them you can glue them on a piece of LR.

untill the flow blows the mushroom into your rockwork....

Crazy Glue it? Maybe i could put it into a breeder tank which has live sand and then when the sand gets attached to the mushroom then just crazy glue it to a rock what do you guys think of this idea since i have pretty strong water circulation in my tank.

Marki24: There are several threads in this forum on mushroom mounting techniques. Crazy glue is not going to work.
