More details about these Mushrooms – Parasite wood…
This Mushrooms – Parasite wood is very lifelike. Comprising of four mushrooms this ornament stands at approximately 11cm tall overall. It looks perfect on a mantlepiece or bookshelf.
Fair-trade, eco friendly and sustainable, this beautiful 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. They’re BAFTS registered and spend much of the year within the Bali community. This ornament is not mass produced which makes it even more unique, and eco-friendly.
Parasite wood carvings come from a parasitic plant. It’s 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 and in the process save Chinaberry tree – a double win!
*Important: Parasite wood carvings vary massively to the beauty that is pictured due to the nature of the material. The actual product you will receive vary slightly from the one pictured on our site. It will still be beautiful though so don’t panic. After all, we hope you’ll agree that this is what makes these products so special and unique.
