I have a small og bounce in a mushroom cage that is in a relative low low flow area, but it is occasionally floating around the cage.
Should this concern me? Should i rubber band it down to the rubble that is in there? Will it be unhappy if it can’t get a footing on the rubble?

Thanks
 
I have several mushrooms in a corner that not rooted down, if I create a wave with my hand a dozen mushrooms would go flying, they are huge and fat so I feel they are happy. Makes it easier to sell them too.

I don't like the rubber band method, I find it hard to get it tight enough to hold but not too tight so it doesn't split. I usually use the plastic cup method, I find it works better than the cage, just get some plastic cups from the dollar store and cut a couple of small holes for flow.

Or if you just place it between the sand and a rock in a low flow spot, it will often anchor itself IME. This is what I usually do now
