{"product_id":"wooden-house-plants-large-redcap-mushroom","title":"Wooden House Plants - Large Redcap Mushroom","description":"\u003cp\u003eA cluster of red-capped toadstools standing upright on your shelf, the large cap blushing from coral to deep red and freckled with cream spots, a smaller one tucked in beside it as if it had just sprung up overnight. The glossy enamel catches window light and gives a small, bright corner of woodland to a mantelpiece, bookcase or sill.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhat you'll notice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe glossy enamel finish deepens the reds and makes the cream spots stand out against the cap.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA pale, ribbed underside is painted beneath the large cap, so it reads as a real mushroom from the front.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA smaller mushroom sits at the foot of the larger one, giving the piece a pairing rather than a single shape.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe stems fade from cream into soft green and brown at the base, like moss and leaf litter.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe edges show the natural grain and honey tone of the mango wood, which frames the bright enamel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eMango wood and enamel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is cut from mango wood, a warm, fine-grained timber with colour that varies from piece to piece. The painted face is sealed under glossy enamel, while the raw wooden edges are left to show their natural character. Because wood is a natural material, expect small differences in grain and tone between one mushroom and the next.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhere it sits well\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt stands upright on its own, which makes it easy to place on a shelf, mantelpiece or window ledge without any fuss. It works as a lone accent beside a row of books, or as the centrepiece of a small woodland arrangement alongside pinecones, dried grasses, a few candles or other mushrooms. Its shape and colour suit autumn displays especially well, but the red cap keeps it cheerful all year round.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDust it with a soft, dry cloth, and keep it indoors away from damp, as wood and water don't get along. Out of strong direct sun, the colours will stay richer for longer.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eA little context\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe red cap with white spots is one of the best-known silhouettes in woodland folklore, appearing in fairy-tale illustrations, children's picture books and garden figurines for generations. It is a toadstool to admire, not to pick, and here it lives safely on a shelf as pure decoration.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it freestanding?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. The flat, solid base lets it stand upright on a level surface without support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the wood left bare?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nOnly the edges. The front is painted and sealed with glossy enamel, while the sides keep the natural mango wood finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it go outdoors?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is made for indoor display. Rain and damp would harm the wood, so a sheltered spot inside is best.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SHAMTAM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67941984534842,"sku":"WHP-18","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/8307\/0266\/files\/wooden-house-plants-large-redcap-mushroom-cover.png?v=1794145389","url":"https:\/\/shamtam.com\/products\/wooden-house-plants-large-redcap-mushroom","provider":"SHAMTAM","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
