Gifts for Mushroomers - Mushroom Themed Products

Welcome to our web shop!  You knew it had to happen, right?  Someone would offer mushroom- themed products for sale on the Internet, and that someone turned out to be us.  We hope it will be a long and enjoyable trip for all of us… and henceforward, the dilemma of what to buy that special mushroomer in your life has just become a little easier.

We’re excited to be offering unique, quality gift items for mushroomers, and will regularly add new items as time goes on and as we learn more about you, our readers and customers.  We’re a small, man-and-wife operation, but what we lack in size, we’ll make up for in good, attentive personal service.  We hope to have you for a customer for as long as you’re interested in mushrooms, and we’ll earn your business with unique, high quality products, fairly priced and promptly shipped.

If for whatever reason we cannot ship in time to arrive for a specific date that we’re aware of, we will be happy to send to the recipient a picture of the item on an attractive card, with a note explaining the delay and stating when it will be shipped (also stating that it’s not your fault!).

We sell only products made in the U.S. or Canada, and for now, all our suppliers are located in Oregon or Washington.  We think there are plenty of imports without our adding to the list, and we want to deal with people we know and trust.  That’s not always possible when your supplier is thousands of miles away.  It’s always possible we might find an overseas supplier or product so outstanding that we simply have to offer it, but for now, if you see it here, it’s from here.

Try as we might, we can’t guarantee against situations when we’re out of stock.  When that occurs, we’ll contact you for instructions.

If you are dissatisfied in any way with your purchase from us, call us and let us know.  Then you can send it back for a prompt, full refund. 

We would really appreciate any feedback you can give us – via card, letter, e-mail, phone call or any other way you can come up with.  What new things would you like to see on our website, and in our web shop?  We’d love to hear from you!

We are including our own phone number for you to contact us directly, too.  It’s 541-332-0166, or cell phone 541-425-0213.  We apologize in advance if you get a busy signal on the 332 number; all we can get here is dial-up internet service, so sometimes the line will be busy.  Calls to the cell phone should go right through.  We ask only that you not call between the hours of 8:00 PM and 7:00 AM, Pacific Time. We need our sleep, too, if we’re going to be of good service to you!

 Mushroom Print Fabric

Our Mushroom Print Fabric is an appealing collection of marketplace button mushrooms captured in warm browns and creamy tones on 45" wide fabric.  The specimens look so fresh and tempting you may start to believe that you spent the day gathering them in grassy fields or gardens or along secluded pathways.  

We think this lovely pattern would be perfect made into tea towels, tables runners, and even a shower curtain.  Let your imagination run naturally wild!

Mushroom (Button) Print Fabric - $12.00/yard, Shipping and Handling $2.00/yard.

 Morel Mushroom Print Fabric

Avid morel hunter Mark Lindsey noticed a gray morel at his feet one spring afternoon, and knelt to pick it.  Being a hunter, he looked at his watch:  1:00 PM.

Fifty minutes later, he picked the 23rd morel from the same spot; he had not risen from his knee.  The 22 other morels had been there the whole time.  And Mark thought to himself:  "Anything that's this hard to see in its own natural environment has got to be pretty good camouflage!"  Morel hunters know the truth of this only too well.  With camouflage in mind, Mark set out to design the most realistic morel print fabric ever, and we believe he's achieved that goal.

Our morel print fabric is 60" wide and is a 55% polyester, 45% cotton blend.   It's a warm, heavy weight fabric suitable for a fall or spring shirt if you're so inclined, or possibly a set of napkins or an apron.  As it was designed primarily as camouflage, this fabric follows the norm for that market by carrying a small, subtle logo stamp with copyright information and the name of the pattern and series.  If you look closely, you can see the logo stamp in the upper left hand side of the morel fabric in the photograph we've included above.   

We're sure that you'll agree that it's the most realistic morel fabric you've ever seen!

Morel Mushroom Print Fabric - $12.00/yard, Shipping and Handling $2.00/yard.

Chanterelle, Morel, Boletus and Agaricus Mushroom Print Fabric

This is the same lovely mushroom print used on our unique origami boxes, available elsewhere in this shop. It's as bright and colorful as you could ask for, and shows off the beauty of Morels (which, for some reason, we've never found in any other mushroom print!), Golden Chanterelles, Agaricus and Boletus mushrooms against a black background. Sadly, this beautiful, 45” wide fabric is now out of production, and will soon be unavailable anywhere. For a limited time, though, we have it, and at an attractive price of $12.00 per yard, shipping and handling included.

Chanterelle, Morel, Boletus and Agaricus Mushroom Print Fabric - $12.00/yard, includes Shipping and Handling.  SORRY - YARDAGE IS TEMPORARILY OUT OF STOCK...although we do have enough stock for an apron or a set of napkins.

Mushroom Print Fabric with Latin Names

To round out our collection of fungal fabrics (and what lady mushroomer doesn’t want to be a “fun gal?”), we offer this elegant, 45” wide mushroom fabric, which features (with names in Latin, yet, for all you purists!) Gymnopilus junonius, Lyophyllum decastes, Amanita phalloides (the Death Cap!), and Amanita muscaria (not quite as poisonous, and surely one of the most beautiful mushrooms ever) on a light brown / beige background, very handsome but a bit more subtle than our other fabrics.  

For some reason, photographs of this fabric don't seem to do it justice; in real life, it's beautiful.   If you think you might be interested but aren't certain, let us know and we'll send you a sample. 

Please note that this and the previous fabric are available made into napkins and aprons, similar to our “Vintage Mushroom Fabrics,” below; please inquire for details. 

Mushroom Print Fabric with Latin Names - $12.00/yard, Shipping and Handling $2.00/yard.

Vintage Mushroom Print Fabric

This classically gorgeous mushroom print fabric was designed by noted artist Joan Messmore (VIP print, Cranston Print Works) years ago, and has been unavailable on the market for at least 10 years.  We have a limited supply of this lovely 45" wide fabric in stock, and it is, to the best of our knowledge, the only remaining yardage available anywhere at any price.  Its rarity is the reason the price is higher than other fabrics; when it's gone, there is no more!

Vintage Mushroom Fabric  -  $30.00/yard, includes Shipping and Handling

Mushroom - Woodland Sachet

Port Orford Cedar naturally occurs only on the southern Oregon coast, and from the mid-1850's on, it was much in demand, not only for its beautiful, white cedar grain and its disease resistance (bugs don't like it, unlike people) but for its unique fragrance.  We've packed our sachet with shavings of this rare and uniquely aromatic wood, blended with organic lavender buds and the powder from seven varieties of of dehydrated wild mushrooms (matsutake, oysters, chanterelle, boletus, coral and cauliflower), for hanging in drawers, closets or anywhere there's a desire for a clean, fresh fragrance.  Available in our antique linen fabric (shown above; pattern may vary due to availability) or our Joan Messmore mushroom print fabric.

Sachet  in Antique Linen Fabric - $10.00 includes Shipping and Handling.

Mini Mushrooms

Although the talented artist who produces them calls them “fungal spirits”, we prefer “Mini Mushrooms,” so that’s what they’ll be for now.  These imaginative little guys may not be much for flavor, but they’re loaded with personality, and each is individually shaped, so no two are alike.  Equally at home in a place of honor atop your desk or computer as they are in a planter or terrarium, they range in size from approximately 5/8” to 2-1/4” tall, are made from durable polymer clay, and come in a variety of colors, as shown in the photograph.

Mini Mushrooms - $5.00 each, Shipping and Handling $1.50





earrings450

Mushroom Earrings

These attractive, yet inexpensive earrings will let any and all know of your interest in mushrooms without your ever saying a word!  Also made from durable, color-fast polymer clay, they have silver plated hardware, and come in three styles: Amanita, Chanterelle and Morel.  Please specify first and second choice.

Mushroom Earrings - $12.00 / pair, Shipping and Handling $1.50




wreaths450



Mushroom Wreaths

“Tis the season,” these mini-wreaths seem to sing, festively adorned with the same tiny mushrooms as go into the earrings, above.  These are perfect for a holiday flower arrangement or display, or perhaps decorating a package for that very special mushroomer on your list.  Approximately 5-1/2” diameter, made of durable (though artificial!) materials.  Supplies Limited!

Mushroom Wreaths - $15.00 each, Shipping and Handling $1.50



cookie-cutter250

Mushroom Cookie Cutters

These simple cookie cutters solve that age-old dilemma, “How to make a cookie look like a mushroom?”  They can also be used for biscuits or a variety of other foods, like pancakes, omelets, croutons, appetizers, tarts and pies, cakes, fruits and vegetables – pretty much anything.  They come in two sizes, Standard (4 to 4-1/2” high) and Mini (not pictured - 1-1/4 to 1-1/2” high).  Supplies Limited!

Boletus Cookie Cutter, Standard Size - $6.00 each, Shipping and Handling $1.50

Canning Jar Lids

If you’re serious about food preservation (and what mushroomer isn’t?), then you care about what your ‘shrooms look like after they’re preserved.  What more elegant finishing touch could there be to your precious home-canned mushroom jars than these elegant, beautifully crafted cross-stitch covered lids?  Anyone who has done cross stitch knows these are really labor-intensive, but every person who sees them will be impressed!  They come in assorted mushroom designs, and will fit wide mouth jars only.

Canning Jar Lids - $15.00 each, Shipping and Handling $1.50



fabric-boxes450


Origami Boxes

Durable, fabric-covered origami boxes are unique enough, but beautiful, hand-made boxes covered with a rich, colorful mushroom fabric (exclusive to us!) are a gift item we’re sure you’ve seen nowhere else!  The talented Oregon artisan who makes them has strong, nimble fingers, and we have yet to find a flaw; apart from the imagination involved in designing them, her craftsmanship is excellent.  These come in 3 sizes, and make a handsome and handy gift for any mushroomer on your list (but no one will blame you if the fortunate recipient is you!)

Origami Boxes, Small (2-5/8” x 1-1/8” high) - $10.00 each, Shipping and Handling $3.00

Origami Boxes, Medium (3-1/8” square x 1-1/2” high) - $15.00 each, Shipping and Handling $3.00

Set of three (one small, one medium, one large) - $40.00, Shipping and Handling $3.00



wood-boxes450

Wooden Mushroom Containers

We think we know something about wood (living in a log home does that to you!), but the more we looked at these handsome wooden mushrooms, the more we realized that this artist definitely knows how to operate a lathe!  That was before he popped the top off of one, and revealed that it was actually a container!  Each is uniquely beautiful, and is made either smooth finished (approx. 2-5/8” tall), or incorporating a bit of the bark for a more rustic look (slightly smaller, at 2-1/2” tall).  Both have inside bores of approx. 7/8” Diameter, 1-7/8” deep.  We don’t know anyone who wouldn’t enjoy having at least one!

Smooth Finish – $12.50 each, Shipping and Handling $3.00

Rustic Style (with bark) – $11.00 each, Shipping and Handling $3.00



felt-mushies450


Felt Mushrooms

When we first saw these on display by a local artisan, we said, “Aw!” with a big smile.  They’re really cute.  Then we touched them, and we were astonished at how soft and nice they are to stroke and to hold!  You might be tempted to class these plush, colorful ‘shrooms as something for kids, but don’t be too sure.  They’re individually hand-made by a skilled local artisan using a laborious technique called “needle felting”, with a single needle, and using primarily locally raised wool (the “natural” color used for the stems sometimes comes from outside the northwest).  Pictures don’t do them justice, but the close-up gives some idea of the luxurious surface texture.  They come in small, medium and large, or in the ring you see pictured with five small mushrooms on a patch of “grass.”  Colors are red, gold, blue, green and brown, in addition to natural.  Please note: these are produced expressly for your order, rather than taken from stock.  Please allow up to 10 days from order entry to shipment, and please specify first and second color choice.  Bear in mind that colors vary somewhat between dye lots.  These items ship direct to you from the artisan.

Felted mushroom, small (approx. 3” high x 3” diameter) – $15.00 each, Shipping and Handling $3.00

Felted mushroom, medium (approx.6” high x 8” diameter) - $40.00 each, Shipping and Handling $7.00

Felted mushroom, large (approx. 8” high x 10” diameter) - $60.00 each, Shipping and Handling $9.00

Ring of 5 small mushrooms plus base (approx 7” diameter) - $45.00 each, Shipping and Handling $8.00


pipe-mushie-garden450


Mushrooms for Lawns and Gardens

pipe-mushie-single

These fanciful mushrooms would make a lovely and durable addition to your lawn or garden, or anyplace outdoors, and they’re “green” as well.  Made entirely from scrap plastic pipe (which would have gone into a landfill if they hadn’t been rescued by our local artisan!), they could be a striking accent outdoors or in… one is even made as a business or recipe card holder!  For long life, the cap is attached with both glue and screws, which are visible from underneath, but not from above.  They come in three size ranges, and no two are alike.  Supplies may be limited due to pipe availability.

Small, 6” to 9” tall - $15.00 each, Shipping and Handling $6.00

Small, with card holder – $18.00 each, Shipping and Handling $6.00

Medium, 10” to 12” tall - $18.00 each, Shipping and Handling $6.00

Giant, 17” to 19” tall - $38.00 each, Shipping and Handling $6.00

Mushrooms for the Wall

Marilyn Morrill Droege is a nationally-known artist whose portrayal of mushrooms is simply outstanding, so finely detailed that they could be photographs, but too perfectly beautiful to be anything other than what they are: creations of an exceptional artist, with a love and knowledge of mushrooms that is simply unequalled.  We’ve known Marilyn for many years as a fellow member of the Puget Sound Mycological Society, for whom she has done several posters for their annual shows.  They quickly became collector’s items, as this rendition of the lovely Amanita Muscaria surely will. Among the most beautiful and widely-known mushrooms in nature (just don’t eat them!), they were a natural if challenging choice of subjects for Marilyn.  These exceptional prints are individually signed and numbered by the artist, on 11-1/2” x 13” archival watercolor paper, rolled in a protective cardboard container, ready to frame.

Limited Edition Mushroom Print by Marilyn Droege - $55.00 each, Shipping and Handling $5.50
