This is a very special mushroom shaped box made out of American Holly (Illex opaca) stalk with Japanese Pagoda Tree (Sophora japonica) cap. Another species of mushroom for your collection. This one is an interesting mushroom with interesting pattern and coloration on both the cap and the body.  There is a series of bug holes that I filled with clear resin for added accent.  Japanese Pagoda tree is a new species I recently acquired, thanks to my neighbor's decision to cut down one from his backyard. When I looked at the cross-cut log, I knew that it would sprout nice mushrooms, and surely it did!

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
