Default tying down shrooms

I am getting eady to do a little aquascaping before I put my clownfish back into the main display. As I said in a previous post, a couple of my mushrooms pulled a lemming-like act and jumped off their rock. Both mushrooms are doing OK under a little cove, but since I will be moving rock around I don't want them drifting around if I can help it. What is the easiest and less stressful way to tie these boogers down? I have a small piece of live rock that is begging to be utilized.

Becky

i would say tying them down with thread. just loop the thread over the shroom and losely tie it down, of course tight enough so they dont get undone. My friend does that, and he has had a lot of success...about a week after you tie it, it will be attatched and you can take the thread off.

The thread idea is pretty good, you can also use some wedding veil to hold them down...

Does I look like I am the kind of dame that has a wedding veil sitting around the house???? I was married in the park by my dad's drinking buddy, no wedding dress required. It is a good idea...but that would mean that I need to find my way to one of those dreaded fabric stores.
