Chanterelle Mushrooms

Chanterelle Mushrooms. It is decidedly NOT mushroom season. Woke up to more snow, feeling ready for a new season. These mushrooms are carved from moose and deer antler and are mounted on driftwood. 7” x 8”. You can see them @charlottetownfarmersmarket or send me a DM for more information. #chantelle #mushroomart #bonecarving #antlerart
