i bought a couple of shrooms but noticed that some of them keep on detaching themselves and i think they might be dying is this normal and can i do something to stop them from letting go of the rock.

They are not happy where they are so they are releasing. Not a big worry. If you put them in a small dish with some rubble they will re-attach. Try moving the main colony to a place with different flow and/or lighting.

wow i have no idea why they would do that shrooms are pretty tolerable of all water conditions. sometimes they just let go but they will reattach somewhere just make sure they get enough light where ever they decide to reattach. if your tank is well established and alkaline levels are fine you should be okay. if you are concerned of where they are going to reattach get some rock rubble cut up a small plastic dish and put the dish in a low current spot in your tank they should reattach. good luck should be okay shrooms are tough suckers to kill.
