I take my red mushrooms off and place them in other areas. It takes about a week for them to attach again. I do this because they multiple rapidly.

Get a blade and cut the top off.Sounds gruesome but it will be ok.
Secure the top to where you want it to grow by putting netting over it.It will attach in a week or two.The stump you leave will also grow a new head.
