Few details charm a terrarium like a cluster of tiny crystal mushrooms little toadstools carved from natural gemstone that catch the light among the moss. They're a tiny, no-care finishing touch that adds real personality.
A little sparkle among the moss
Carved from stones like amethyst, quartz and agate, crystal mushrooms bring colour and a hint of whimsy without needing any care, perfect set into moss beside a piece of cork bark, or tucked next to a fairy garden figure. Because they're solid stone, they're completely inert: humidity, condensation and time won't affect them.
How to style them
The trick is restraint. Group a small, odd number (three or five) rather than scattering them evenly, and place them slightly off-centre so the eye lands there naturally. Sit them where they'll catch light, near the glass or under a grow light, so the crystal actually sparkles. Leave open moss around them; a crowded scene loses the magic.
