If you can get a basket that will float, put rock rubble in there and the mushrooms will attach that way.

No set time really. In a tank with a bunch of flow, once it finds a spot to settle.

These things work great for getting stubborn shrooms, leathers, and xenia to attach to rocks. They are not crazy large and you can get them in a few different sizes. Here is a link to the 4" baskets. I have used the 3" ones with some good success as well. Just put a bit of rubble in the bottom and then put the corals on top and place the basket in an area of low flow so they don't pop out. You can also cover the basket with some bridal viel using a rubber band around the basket to keep it in place.

The shrooms don't squeeze out the slots?

The 3 inch pots have pretty small slots, put some rubble in there and place them more in the center and they tend to attach to the rubble pretty quick. I have not had one escape yet. I use this method for kenya tree frags as well.
