The build: Lord of the Flies Agaric

 

The story:

Mushrooms were big business in the Enchanted Forest and one of the best mushroom groomers was Flix. The pixie specialised in painting fly agaric mushrooms, making sure their white spots were vivid and perfectly round. While mushroom grooming was often a relaxing task, Flix was always wary of insect attacks and kept his rapier with him at all times.

Build notes:

Spoiler

• This is my entry for the Brickscalibur 12x12 vignette category. Flix first appeared in my CMF entry.
• I actually spotted a real fly agaric the day I was working on this build. Its spots were not as precise as this one, so clearly not Flix's work.
• You too can assemble your own mushroom grooming kit, see below:

What an excellent concept, and what a great build too! 

Your mushroom grooming kit is hilarious!   Great technique for the shroom itself too!

Nicely built, it looks like a fantastic gardening skills are required.

Thanks @Aurore, @Kai NRG and @Niku! It was fun to change up the scale, but the mushroom gills at least proved pretty fragile.

Really well done.  The half pressed down round for the underside of the mushroom really sells it.  The winged critter on top is fantastic.  I like all the little details in the tools and the use of the bike helmets.  Nice job!
