While a dish called Mushrooms Three Ways would indeed be divine, I am of course talking about mushroom themed decor. Now, no one is suggesting that you fill your home to the brim with mushrooms like the mother of an ex of mine did with country-style ducks (again, not a dish, sadly) all year round and in the wintertime, snowmen. But a mushroom as a showpiece? It’s just unusual enough to work! Here are three examples that I found in my virtual travels and loved enough to bookmark:

In designer Masako Sato own words: “During the rainy season, it’s very humid in Japan. One day I found moldy wall in my room. I was worried if mushrooms were coming up. But at the same time, I imagined how funny mushrooms are growing on the wall. Some people drive nails into walls, but I don’t like it. It may damage my clothes and myself when get caught on and even looks painful. Mushroom Hook is made by silicone rubber. It is soft and welcome your return home.”

Here’s a set of neat LED Mushroom Lamps that turn on with a gentle push to the cap. The nicest part? In the picture, they look like a nightlight, but the fact is that they’re pretty big and make a great bedside lamp – especially in a kid’s room. No wait, the nicest part is the $12 price tag!

And lastly, Thomas Wold’s cute and stylish mushroom forest coffee table (which can be had with or without a matching side table). Each piece in the series features several caps which function as flat table tops, each with different heights and cap size, so you can devote one cap to books and another to your remote control collection. Presumably, someone quite small could even use a cap for a chair if they were so inclined. In any case, these tables can really up the fun quotient in a room.
