How to Attach a Mushroom ???

[The Saltwater Kid]

What is the easiest way to attach a mushroom to live rock? I really don't like the needle and thread approach as it's messy (slimy) and causes stress for both me and the coral.

I place them in a plastic dish (like a butter dish) that has caurse arogonite covering the bottom. To keep them from blowing out, I rubber band some of the tule stuff that my wife has over it. After a few weeks, they will attached to the gravel which I then superglue to my LR. Eventually they move off the gravel and onto the LR and spread from there.

What is the "tule stuff" to cover it? Can you think of any other way to cover them?

Tule is the material that wedding veil is made from. It looks like a real caurse mesh.

I believe I will use a nylon filter media bag, put the shrooms on the rock, gently pull the bag over and draw it closed. This was suggested by another member on a different forum and it sounds like it would work well.
