As I only had about half of my trees done with the garlic shrooms, and it is clear that our garlic consumption will not let me finish the woods any time soon, I needed to look for an alternative.
Last summer, I had collected a bunch of acorn cupules, which I decided to use for another very common tree sized mushroom plant found on the planet - colloquially known as lantern shroom.
After all the wire armatures were done, I drilled holes into the cupules, pushed a wire through and then gave it a 90° bend at the tip to prevent the cupule to fall off again.
All the mushrooms got a first coat of air drying clay, to fix their shape.
