I've got a few mushrooms, is there any good way to attach them to live rock?

Title says it all, just curious if there is a way to get them to attach to live rock.

And I have another one just sitting in the sand bed as well.

Some people recommend superglue, however IME a mushroom in a container with reef rubble usually works within a couple of weeks. Good luck!

They can also be tied to a piece of rubble using something like dental floss, give them time to attach, and then cut the dental floss free.

You can get these on Esty by different 3D printing guys...works well and keeps cleanup crew away while they attach.
They come in different colors as well.

I kept trying to seat mine on rock or I'd give up and let them do their thing. They kept getting blown around and eventually got damaged, losing much of their size. So I glued them and life is good now.
