How long for mushrooms to attach?

Never done this before.
Had a largish frag thingy, stuck 3 different mushrooms to it with some mesh.
The mesh actually is some Halloween spider web stuff.
How long should I leave it until they attach?

Probably a week or so. Sometimes it takes shorter, sometimes a little longer. I'll leave mushrooms in my refugium in a strawberry basket and rubble for months.. Then when I remember, I'll oull em out and put them where I want.
 
Mine usually attach within two weeks or so. I use a container and just set some substrate in it then leave it at the bottom of my tank.
 
Update
The blue and red have attached.
The green is doing its best not to.
I have another blue and a purple i'm going to put on there as well.
Would like to go one day without sticking my hand in the tank.
 
Personally i say it depends on the mushroom ..

Discos take about 2-3 days for me...
FL ricordias take about a week...
Yumas 1-2 weeks.. sometimes i cant get them to attach at all.
Never tried with rhodactis.
 
Keep a blue actinic light on the shroom 24/7 for a couple days. It will stay inflated and attach faster. When the light goes out, it closes and floats around
 
I put some in a clear plastic container and drilled a bunch of holes. some of the shrooms attached to the frag plugs I had in there, some attached directly to the plastic. SMH.
