Mushrooms Painted on Parasite Wood ornament – Crafting information

Fair-trade, eco friendly and sustainable, this beautiful Painted Mushroom ornament is lovingly crafted by hand in Bali. We work closely with our suppliers to ensure that we are all working ethically and fairly. Our supplier is BAFTS registered and spend much of the year within the Bali community. This ornament is not mass produced which makes it even more unique.

‘What is Parasite Wood?’ we hear you ask! Parasite wood carvings come from a parasitic plant. It’s a mushroom-like growth that embeds itself into the bark of a Chinaberry tree and gets its nourishment from the tree’s sap. Eventually the parasitic growth kills the tree. Highly skilled artisans remove the parasite wood to create their art. In the process of removing the parasite wood, the artisans save the Chinaberry tree – a double win!

*Important: Due to the hand crafted nature of many of our gifts, the actual product you receive may vary slightly from the one pictured on our site. Parasite wood carvings can vary greatly depending on the wood selected by the artisan. Many pieces are hand crafted and unique. We hope you’ll agree that this is what makes these products so special and unique.
