When you say glued the mushroom did it re attach to rubble before you glued it?
When it comes to mushrooms there’s no way to really make em stay where You want no matter how much glue you use,, if their not happy they will expel slim and move right off frag leaving glue behind and go where they want to be so if it went into dark place with low flow then that’s where it wants to be for now. If it wants more light or flow it will move there itself. At least that’s been my experience
I’ll try to get some pictures, but it’s a Rhodactis Bullseye Superman.
Ok your placement should be good while it acclimates to your system.

Keep in mind if your trying to glue the shroom foot directly to a plug or rubble its not going to work. They excrete a slime and will just detach.
Here's a picture of one of my mushroom bowls I made. Nothing fancy and did the trick within a week later.
A pic of the shroom attached and in a mushroom condo maybe a cpl weeks later.
Put some rubble in and cover with net if you have snails or crabs that can get into bowl.
Let it acclimate and don't bother it.
Once you see it opening up you can put a little sand on the shroom in the bowl. Kinda like burying it but not fully burying it.
You should have no problem getting it to foot for you as long as its healthy.
Just give it time to attach and don't bother it for a cpl weeks.
That’s what I’m finding out. I just thought maybe it was due to the size of this guy. I have an Aussie Fire (half dollar) and a green hairy (baseball) and I just took the frag plug they attached too, cut any part of the plug outside their foot and glued the plug bit to the rock work. This worked fine for the first two, however this Rhody decided he was going to bail after 3 days on the rock. Then I glued him twice to a plug for him to Houdini out again. I don’t want to stress him anymore so I’m trying to get him to attach on his own back in the frag tank.

Haha cool my wife's save them for me now. You can also find people selling mushroom condos here and just by doing a quick search on Google. They come with covers i just bit the bullet recently because the sizes you can get them in are easier to move around and fit better into spots i want to place them.
Here's a thread where I bought mine.
USA - Mushroom Condos 2.2", 3.2" & 4.2"
If you collect high-end mushrooms - this is a must. They keep your mushrooms safe, break up the flow and help them stay attached and grow. I have 2 sizes available: 2.2" (fits 2" disc) - $14 3.2" (fits 3" disc) - $18 4.2" - $25 shipping $10 Free shipping if you buy 5. Lids are $2 each & stands...
No problem lol.
Most helpful thanks !
