Of all mushroom the amanita is the most widely celebrated. The iconic red and white fly agaric has made it’s way into literature, art, and into our homes. It is said to be a symbol of luck. As I looked around our home, I was struck by just how many mushrooms items we have, and so I though I would share a few of our favorites, as well as some other mushroom things you might love.

The ten pin set is so cute! Did you know Beatrix Potter was an avid mycologist and that she illustrated many of the mushrooms she found in the woods around her home? I tracked down a copy of her book of mycology illustrations for Dad for Christmas a few years ago. It’s all in French though but beautiful to look at!
Ahhh so interesting I did not know that. I am going to look for that book, I bet is is gorgeous (wish me luck finding it!). Thanks for mentioning this! Yes the ten pin set is cute. Kirsten x
I think from memory I found it on ebay. Best of luck tracking it down – it’s well worth it!
just like morel mushrooms, we leave their roots but cut off closer to the ground so they will come back. As mushrooms, we humanbeibgs need to respect natural environment. co exist. I hope my daughter will learn and respect this natural world.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment!
