LV-4511 Golden Rain Tree cap and Black Chacate Mushroom Threaded Box from, Jewelry Box, Pill Box-SCREW CAP

$ 110.00


This is a very special mushroom shaped box made out of Golden Rain Tree (Koelreuteria paniculata) cap with Black Chacate (Guibourtia conjugata) stalk. Another new species of mushroom with an interestingly named timbers:  Golden Rain got its name from its yellow panicles of flower and then the more showy balloon-like seed pods that rain--not gold--but round, black seeds all over the place. I got two of these street trees in front of my house. This species is a resilient one. I have been battling unwanted seedlings from these trees every year. If I neglected to pull these seedlings for a season or two, good luck getting rid of them without resort to chemical warfare. I was surprise to see that this species dried without much splitting and held its bark well, so here it is, another cute mushroom with the dark, dense Black Chacate stalk.  I really like the contrast in this one.

This threaded box can be used to hold small valuables...The screw-on cap ensured that your content is secured; also serves as a unique gift for nature lovers.
