Mushrooms, aside from being fun and trippy, have deep mythological symbolism. Due to their ability to grow (and grow rapidly) in the dark from decaying materials in nature, mushrooms represent rebirth, recycling, and transformation during times of darkness and quiet. These incredible works of art are individually hand carved by real people, which means that each mushroom is one of a kind. There are natural variations in the colors of the shell as well as variations by the artist's hand.
