    Witch is better, just concrete and water or mixing items like peat moss and vermiclite? I am wanting to try this for the first time. Ty

    These are awesome.You can make mushroom the same way,the top piece anyway.If you know someone who takes core samples(which I did) from cement,the sample that comes out is perfect for the mushroom stem.I don`t have access to that anymore,so I will have to make my own mold for the stem.Thanks for sharing.

      You can make mushrooms using sand casting the top.
