 At last! With this latest firing, all my mushroom pendants for the West Virginia Mushroom Club’s annual foray have been finished!

I’ll finally be a vendor there 😁

Next up is to turn them into necklaces, but first, just a moment to admire them…

Can you name any of the species?  They’re all patterned after actual mushrooms except the two kinds made from black-spotted clay, a “standard brown mushroom” and a “mystical magic mushroom.”

 Woah @Little Spoon I tag you in all things like this cause I am a fun gui 
 Haha I’m gonna need some spore prints to identify!!!  

I’d wear these on my nipples, though.   

Thanks for the tag.   These are cool! 
 My my 
 I should make little fake spore prints for a photo shoot 😂 
I’m not sure I have the right piercing hardware for that, but maybe I will in future! 
 These are so cute!! Great job 💜🍄‍🟫 
 Thanks! 😊 
 Chanterelle. amanita. 
 Yes!  Two different species of Amanita, even; the regular fly agaric, A. muscaria, and the peach-colored fly agaric, A. persicina. 
 Mamamia amanita 
 You can ship these?  I can pay in sats?? 
 You can put an earring clip in these?? 
 This is the kind of earring clip I currently have; is it what you’d be looking for?

All these pictured were made to go to the mushroom foray Aug 16-18; I can let you know what items remain after the event, ~or~ if you don’t mind waiting longer than that, you can let me know if you’d prefer a mushroom that I don’t currently have, and I could try to include it in an upcoming batch. I do plan to make more, especially the chanterelles, which I think are especially cute 😁
Which is your favorite? https://image.nostr.build/a9c18c5d10925f9eb2856d5bed7cc4a64b1277dc6a4d9bfc60c70a085f698a88.jpg  
 I like them all!  Please do let me know what’s left over.   

I think I like the blue ones best (blewitts??).   But I like them all. 
 The blue ones represent Lactarius indigo, the indigo milky. Those are a mushroom special to my dad @morelater and I. 
 Jealous you’ve found indigo milkies, my dream find 
 I found some last year.. tis the season nowish around me.   Do y’all eat these? https://i.nostr.build/DQ0botVyItezDYle.jpg  
 Oh yeah, I’ve never tried them cause I’ve never found them but they’re supposed to be choice edibles 
 Yes!  I like them 😁 
 Try McDowell Park in the Charlotte, NC area if you’re around after lots of summer rains. Look under pine trees 
 Sent you a DM,  @Little Spoon

 The black spotted clay one actually looks like an ‘old man of the woods’, a species of boletes - a good edible too 
 You got it!  😁
