You can isolate the mushroom in a small plastic container with some coral rubble. The walls of the plastic container (think small deli cup) will keep the mushroom from blowing away in the current. Once the mushroom has attached to some rubble, you can glue (crazy glue gel) the rubble to a larger rock.

rubble can be any size, you just want it small enough that a layer of rubble will still allow the frag to lay flat, think crushed coral sized or slightly larger. I have actually used crushed coral for that only good use i've ever found for it.
