all of my mushrooms are detaching from the rocks and floating around my tank! Why and how do I fix it?

Sometimes they detach to move to a more favorable place. If some detach but their neighbors stay, it may be more of a reproductive action. In either case, it sometimes works to place some crushed coral or small rubble in a bowl or cup in a corner of the tank where you can put the loose Mushrooms so they won't blow away. Sometimes I place some netting over the top. If after a week or so they haven't attached to the rock, they will probably do better in a different tank.

I had some do that as well. They were in an area with too much flow and it didn't matter if I glued them down, they'd still detached and float somewhere else and then reattach. I finally gave up and let them be where they wanted to be cause I couldn't keep them in my spot.
