    ok.. what about the mushrooms who think they are tumbleweeds?... my superglue gel doesn't like to stick to slime...

    Willow:

    Try rubber banding them to a piece of rubble. They will attach. Give it a few days, then you can remove the rubber band.

    i have not had a lot of success w/ rubber bands. invariably something happens and the mushroom goes flying around. i attatch mushrooms to larger pieces of rubble using the lemon squeeze cloths from heb. (you can find them in the veggie section, they are like little tiny hairnets). the one time i haven't done this in months and my two cool mushrooms blew away into the rock work.

    I'm guessing the bridal veil netting and a rubber band would work then... (the rubber band to hold the bridal veil in place)... I have a whole spool of it so I'll have to try it instead of the rubber band alone....

    I have a few "tumbleweeds" that I need to go dig out of the rock work... Since I'm planning on moving the rocks anyway this weekend it might be a good time to try it...

    yes, I would think bridal veil and a rubberband would work... just make sure that if the rubber band fails there is something holding the bridal veil on - use a new rubber band, if there is any age to it at all it'll break really fast.
