Tips:
Spray paint your mushrooms different colors.
Use orange spray paint for Halloween Mushrooms.
Glue 2 bowls together for mushroom balls.
Try using clear caulk or epoxy glue.
Could use metal or glass bowls too.
Enjoy your garden!
Note.
Tree stumps, small trunks and logs are pretty inexpensive. I used some from old weed trees. But you can find them in most hardware stores, garden centers or sometimes Walmart.
A can if spray paint goes a long way, as do most of the supplies for this project.
