A wearable mushroom cap for fungi admirers and lovers of everything silly and whimsical! Make one for you or many of them for all your loved ones for special occasions, Halloween parties, or any special days when you need to put on something that will bring a smile to you and everyone around you!

This hat was inspired by Amanita muscaria, a poisonous but fascinating and adorable mushroom to behold! Mushroom foraging is something I grew up with and bonded over with my brother. Whether we found anything or not, every outing was full of excitement and adventures. I hope making and wearing this hat will bring a sense of adventure to you!
