From what I've read, a mushroom is a pretty poor anchor. It takes a lot of weight to get any reasonable holding power. And it only works in mud.

I think the anchors that dig in to the bottom, have a much better holding power for every pound of anchor. This includes the danforth, plow, delta, claw, CQR and all their copies and clones.
