Description
These three large wooden mushroom Christmas tree decorations bring a little woodland charm to the branches, each one a toadstool with a broad spotted cap and a grooved stem. The caps are brown, in tones that run from a light honey shade to a deep, dark brown across the set, and are dotted all over with small cream spots. The stems carry pale streaks that follow the grain, so every mushroom looks a touch different from its neighbours. Each one measures 22cm high and 10.5cm across, so the three hold their own among the needles.
We like them hung towards the outer tips of the branches, where the spotted caps stand out against the green, or spaced around the tree so the pattern repeats. They suit a rustic or woodland-themed tree well, sitting happily beside pine cones, dried orange slices and other natural pieces. They are not only for the tree: hang one from a window latch, a dresser knob or a mantel garland, or tie all three along an indoor wreath for a little forest scene. As a set they also make a welcome Christmas gift for a home that leans towards warm wood and natural textures.
Each mushroom is made from wood, with a small metal eye fixed into the top of the cap and a loop of twisted jute cord tied through it, so they are ready to hang as they come. The finish is left a little rustic, with the grain and the odd rough edge showing through the brown, which is part of their appeal. Care is simple: dust them with a soft dry cloth, keep them somewhere dry and away from direct heat, and wrap them in tissue paper when the tree comes down so the cords stay untangled for next year. Hang the three at slightly different heights for the most natural look.

Frequently Asked
How big is each mushroom decoration?
Each of the three mushrooms measures 22cm high and 10.5cm across. That is a generous size that stands out clearly on a full Christmas tree.
What are the mushrooms made of?
The mushrooms themselves are wood. Each has a small metal eye at the top of the cap and a jute cord loop for hanging.
How do they hang?
Each one has a twisted jute cord tied through a metal eye on top of the cap. The loop goes straight over a branch, a hook or a knob.
Are all three mushrooms the same colour?
All three are brown with cream spots. The brown can vary from light to dark across the set, so each mushroom has its own character.
Can I use them away from the Christmas tree?
Yes. They look lovely hung from a window latch, a mantel garland or an indoor wreath. We suggest keeping them indoors and dry.
How should I look after them?
Dust them with a soft dry cloth and keep them away from damp and direct heat. Between seasons, store them wrapped in tissue paper.
