How do I attach mushroom frags?!

I'm a bit of newbie and at the minute I have a few softie frags, however I have a hard time trying to attach my mushrooms, any suggestions?

The best thing to do with mushrooms is to place them in a small bowl full of rubble and let them attach on their own. This usually takes about two weeks to form a secure bond, but once this is done you can pretty much glue the rock anywhere you want in the tank. Also, if too much flow is a problem you might want to cover the bowl with some netting so the mushrooms don't float away. GL.

Mushrooms are not actually "soft corals" they have their own forum here too with lots of threads on them attaching. Here is a link to the "mushroom forum" of RC. I agree with Cloak!
