This is a cute mushroom shaped box made out of Raffia Palm Nut (Raphia hookeri) cap & Lignum Vitae (Guiacum officinale) stalk. Another new species of mushroom from my shop, this one has a wildly patterned cap. From Africa, this palm species is a rare find. The nut has ridges all over, so I just sanded part of the dark skin off to reveal the greenish nut. The green color prompted me to fashion a Lignum vitae stalk, which also turned deep green with exposure. Here is one dark mushroom!
