Werewere-kokako fungi 3D Thread Sculpture. #9.

This piece is my sculptural embroidery version of the Entoloma hochstetteri, often found in broadleaf forests throughout New Zealand.  This beautifully coloured fungi also appears on New Zealand's $50.00 note, and is the only fungi to appear on a banknote in the world.

Each mushroom is carefully pinned to perspex, and encased in a clear acrylic box like a preserved specimen.

This measures:

Height:  10cm

Width:  7cm

Depth:  6cm.

Ready for hanging straight onto the wall. Each piece comes with its own certificate of authenticity.
