So Iām reading this book, and while itās not really a witchy book, Iām really feeling it! Itās called Goblin Mode: How to Get Cozy, Embrace Imperfection, and Thrive in the Muck by Mckayla Coyle. Itās basically about embracing imperfections and enjoying nature and decay.
One of the things to do was a little craft, and I knew that it was right up @BryWisteriaās alley! So I thought Iād share with everyone! Itās about making prints for decorations with mushroom spores. Have fun! 
Make a Mushroom Spore Print
Scientists and mushroom foragers have been using spore prints to cultivate and identify mushrooms for hundreds of years. Spore prints are extremely useful for mushroom enthusiasts, but they also make very cool art, and theyāre really easy to make. Hereās a quick-and-dirty guide to making your own spore print at home.
What Youāll Need:
ā Paper bag (to hold mushrooms if youāre foraging)
ā Gloves (for handling the mushrooms)
ā Mature mushroom with gills (those thin ridges under the cap that look like pleated fabric or book pages), either foraged or store bought
ā Paper
ā A glass or jar
What to Do:
1. You can do this project with mushrooms bought from the grocery store, but if youād like to harvest your own, look for mushrooms after a heavy rain because youāll have better luck. Bring a bag for collecting them, and wear gloves!
2. Cut the mushroom stem off as close to the cap as you can without damaging the gills.
3. Place mushroom cap, gills down, on a piece of paperāno need to press the mushroom down, just place it lightly on the paper. Cover the mushroom with a jar or glass. Leave the container in place for 12ā24 hours.
4. Remove the container and gently lift up the mushroom cap. The spores should have dropped and left an imprint of the bottom of the mushroom cap on your paper.
5. Thatās it, youāre done! You now have some great, simple goblin art to decorate your goblin home.
Different types of mushroom have different colored spores, and mushrooms that are fresher or more mature might make more vibrant spore prints than mushrooms that are too young or too old. Experiment with different kinds of mushrooms to get all kinds of prints!
