Miniature Candlestick Mushroom - Fly Agaric

Probably the most iconic of all toadstools, the Fly Agaric, or Amanita Muscaria, conjures up images of fairies and druids and all things magical and mystical. In fact, the Gaelic slang for faeries and mushrooms is the same word: pookies. 

This little toadstool is made from spun cotton and protrudes from a miniature vintage brass candlestick. The candlestick has been polished but retains some of its patina indicative of its history. 

Altogether, this ornament stands approximately 7.5 inches tall and 2.5 inches at it's widest point.
