I think as this weathers a bit and the feed sack gets more exposed, it will give the mushroom the textures I was attempting to to combine. The base is using the stove pipe to make a pillar, then carved into the ribbed pattern seen in the picture. I think this is "Farmers Market" product... that is starting in about a week, I am so not ready. The cap was made separately, building off an old concave lamp fixture with plastic wrap over the glass for easy release. layering hypertufa-mesh fencing-hypertufa again, then dip and soaking gunny sack strips in a thick solution of Portland cement and fine sand and placing on the cap leaving loose ends at the edges to give it more texture and visual interest.
