OK, so it has always been a dream of mine to have some really nice giant mushrooms as scenery for fantasy wargaming. I have never pursued this dream. Lately I have been making a lot of terrain for Frostgrave featuring two different climates, snowy medieval for when playing with Bashytubits and desert Egyptian for playing at home with la familia. I already have snowy evergreens filling the "tree" role for the winter terrain, and I despaired of ever having the chance to do some mushroom forest kind of stuff. On a whim, I googled "desert mushroom" and against all logic or certainty, there are mushrooms that from in the desert. And look like they could be easily built from plastic Easter eggs and masking tape. Check these out:
I foresee a mushroom forest board coming up in the future… |

I like the expression on the top one--saturnine. |

I apologize in misreading your topic heading. When I first read it I thought you were talking about the ones that grew at Frenchman Flats and Yucca Falts in Nevad in the 1950's and early 60's. |
