I bet you all thought, the second type of mushroom is called "lantern mushroom" because of the acorn caps used look like lamp shades. Well, that is only half of the truth. The lantern shrooms to this day puzzle scientists, as they are a weird blend of mushroom and crystal. No-one knows so far, if this is one organism, or a kind of symbiosis, but out of the caps on the shrooms crystals are growing. These glow at night - hence the name.
I fixed mountain crystals with hot glue into the caps.
Generelly I like the look, but at the moment it looks a bit boring, especially compared to the other shroomes I finished the other day. I am contemplating to paint the crystals also with the fluorescent paints… not sure yet. What do you suggest?
