Can anyone offer me some tips on how to properly secure individual ricordea mushrooms to rock?

I have used super glue gel with little success. The mushrooms keep pulling loose and falling back off.

I received a single loose green yuma ric, recently. I cut the ric into four pieces and allowed each of the four pieces to set in a small gladware container with some substrate on the bottom. I covered the top with veil material to keep out snails and anything else that would bother them. After about 1 week they attached to the substrate and then I was able to superglue the tiny pieces of substrate onto another rock. It worked perfectly.
