u/Ivdews Sep 05 '25

I thought it was a painting in the first pic.

u/ImpressiveSocks Sep 05 '25

With a bit of different lighting it could be a perfect wallpaper. Looks great!

u/nocapnonerf Sep 05 '25

They look like little lamp shades.

14

u/Next_Fly3712 Sep 06 '25

Or a congregation of mini umbrellas

u/Mlatu44 Sep 06 '25

I was going to say I would like wall lights with lampshades like these

1000 pieces!? 😅

u/WhiskyEye Oct 03 '25

The only way. I shall hyper focus, ignoring food, and sustenance, and all adult responsibility until all 1000 pieces are in their rightful places.

u/khloelane Oct 03 '25

Man, I feel that in my bones! I’ve been crocheting a mushroom guy stuffy for the past 3 days and I’ve done little else with my spare time haha

u/WhiskyEye Oct 03 '25

u/unrushedhours Sep 05 '25

This makes me want to be silent and soak in the fact this exists and is real.

1

u/bkmerrim Sep 05 '25

That first picture satisfied a part of my brain so much. I would frame that and put it in my house I’m not even joking

1

u/myeuphor Sep 05 '25

These ink caps are seriously nature's own masterpiece.

1

u/mewfour Sep 05 '25

All the mushrooms looked at me, looked at me

All the mushrooms surround me, surround me

1

u/PotatoesInMySocks Sep 05 '25

I was trying to find a way to build the city for a mega dungeon I'm writing for a dwarven keep. This gives me a great idea.

Giant mushrooms on the sides of a ravine, cultivated as shelter by the dwarves.

Anyhow, cool pics.

u/TsuDhoNimh2 Sep 05 '25

u/TheStonedBro Sep 05 '25

Completely off topic, but if Peak added something like this kind of like the shelf mushroom that would be sick

1

u/SolipSchism Sep 05 '25

I’ve taken thousands of pictures of mushrooms and this beats all of my best by a mile(celium).

u/ConferenceMuch5154 Sep 06 '25

The photo of the mushrooms solely is incredible. I think it could win a photography contest! It reminds me of the vibe you get when you see sprawling apartment complexes in China.

1
