Oyster Mushroom Ring | (Pleurotus citrinopileatus) | Smaller and Taller Version
We cast home grown mushrooms into these rings, but the mushrooms don’t always cooperate. Casting mushrooms has proven to be a bit of a challenge, and we get better results when we cast large, mature mushrooms because their tissue is a bit stiffer.
So this ring was made by casting a large yellow oyster mushroom, using a 3D scanner to transfer its mushy goodness to the computer, and then sculpting and shrinking the design. The result has the best of both processes- an organic character that has been tweaked so that it is lightweight and comfortable to wear.
This ring has a smaller diameter and is slightly taller. To see the larger and flatter version click here: Oyster Mushroom Ring Large

Oyster mushrooms are typical shelf mushrooms. The business end of the species is underground, inside a tree, or otherwise not visible. Its mycelium does the work of finding food, and then produces mushrooms to spread its spores.
Their spores are released from the underside of the mushroom, from between the wavy gills. Oyster mushrooms in particular are known for having a copious amount of spores- somewhere in the millions for a single mushroom.
