Nature-identical fungus replicas for natural history museums and private collectors. Fliegenpilz – Amanita muscaria Known as the Fly Agaric, Amanita muscaria is one of the most iconic mushrooms in the world, instantly recognizable by its bright red cap adorned with white spots. Found throughout the forests of Europe, Asia, and North America, this species has long been associated with folklore, mythology, and traditional rituals. Despite its striking beauty, it contains psychoactive compounds and should not be consumed without expert knowledge. Totentrompete – Craterellus cornucopioides Also called the Horn of Plenty or Black Trumpet, Craterellus cornucopioides produces elegant funnel-shaped fruiting bodies in deep grey to black tones. Native to deciduous forests across Europe and North America, it often grows in leaf litter and forms beneficial relationships with trees. Though its dark appearance inspired its German name, this highly prized edible mushroom is celebrated for its rich aroma and delicate flavor. Lion’s Mane – Hericium erinaceus Known for its cascading white spines resembling a lion’s mane, Hericium erinaceus grows on hardwood trees in Europe, Asia, and North America. This remarkable species has been valued for centuries in traditional medicine and is currently being studied for its potential effects on cognitive health and nerve regeneration. Its unusual appearance and fascinating biology make it one of the most distinctive fungi in the world. Sebastian Brandt’s models reveal the hidden beauty and complexity of these extraordinary organisms, celebrating the diversity and artistry of the fungal kingdom while offering exceptional pieces for natural history museums and private collectors. #FungusArt #AmanitaMuscaria #CraterellusCornucopioides #HericiumErinaceus #FlyAgaric #BlackTrumpet #LionsMane #Mycology #NatureArt
