Mushroom Man House

Carved from chestnut oak, Mushroom Man House began with a little encouragement from a young mushroom enthusiast who had been asking me to carve one for her. After receiving her first little mushroom carving, she loved it so much that she insisted I make more.

Around that same time, we were playing God of War, where Freya lives in a remarkable house built around a giant living turtle. That sparked an idea: what if a house could be a living creature, but instead of a turtle or a tree, it was a mushroom?

That idea became Mushroom Man House, a whimsical carving that found its new home before Timber Posse had even started vending. A fellow artisan brought it along to a show with his own creations, where it caught someone’s eye and became one of our earliest sales.
