Description
This spotted mushroom figurine brings a little woodland charm to the Christmas tree, with a red cap dotted with pale spots above a slender cream stem. It is made from resin, also known as polystone, and has a glazed finish, so the colours keep a soft sheen when the tree lights catch them. The cap has a gently rippled edge and fine gills on its underside. The stem carries a small ring partway down before it widens a little towards the foot, just as a real mushroom does. It is 11cm tall and 7.5cm wide and deep, a neat size for a branch.
A white ribbon is threaded through a small metal eye at the top of the cap, so it hangs the right way up, cap at the top and stem below, ready for the tree as soon as you unwrap it. Hang it from a sturdy branch, where the bright cap stands out among glass baubles. You could also tie it to a wreath in the hallway, a garland along the mantelpiece or a few bare twigs in a jug for a woodland theme. It also makes a charming little Christmas gift, tucked in with a card or slipped into a stocking for someone who loves fairytale toadstools and walks in the woods.
The glazed resin has soft shading in its colour, from the deeper red at the rim of the cap to the warm tan at the foot of the stem, which gives it a gentle, natural look. As with most decorations of this kind, it is best kept indoors and away from damp. Dust it with a soft dry cloth, and wrap it in tissue when the tree comes down so the cap and ribbon stay neat for the following Christmas. For a forest-floor look, hang it near a tree light or group it with pine cones and other natural ornaments.
