When I left this morning all of the mushrooms were on the rock, one of them if off and on the sand bed. Should I move it or leave there? Is my flow two high - 2 Sicce 3500s

Mushrooms will sometimes move if they don't like where they are. I would just keep an eye on it and make sure it doesn't go somewhere you don't want it, or doesn't get caught in a current and blown around.
 
Your biggest concern should be it getting caught up in the flow and chopped up in a powerhead, but depending on how long it has been there, it probably just "crawled" its way there and is actually attached to your substrate. If it weren't attached it would already be in one of your powerheads.
 
There is an old school method, but you risk ruining the mushroom too. Like was discussed you can place it in a clean non toxic plastic cup with coral rubble and it should attach. I use netting, I think it's called wedding veil at hobby stores, and glue it over the mushroom. Now, I've been doing it for years. I know a lot of people who have destroyed their mushrooms by doing it though. They just don't like heavy flow.
 
just lay a light coral rubble branch right over it, not completely covering it. It'll find a way to attach and get on top. They have a foot like a nem, and if they can bring it to bear, they can move. Also works with stray xenia clumps.
