Toadstool Mould (IOD) Iron Orchid Designs- 6x10

Bring the quiet magic of the forest floor to your surfaces with the Toadstool Decor Mould by Iron Orchid Designs. Fourteen mushroom and fungi elements — from towering fly agarics and morels to clusters of small toadstools and bracket fungi — sculpted with the exacting naturalist precision of a Victorian botanical illustration. Every gill line, every cap texture, every stem ring is individually rendered in deep, three-dimensional relief that reads like a foraged specimen collection from across the room.

The Toadstool mould is one of the most botanically detailed in the IOD range. The large flat parasol mushroom cap (30ml/45g) commands any surface it anchors. The morel (7ml/10g) with its honeycomb cap texture is a standout statement piece. The cluster of small toadstools on the left panel composes beautifully across a drawer front or tray. Arrange a full woodland scene across a large cabinet door, scatter individual fungi across a set of drawers, or use the largest caps as standalone centrepieces. Micro-Rims and Measure Marks are built into the mould for cleaner castings and precise media measurement.

How to Use

1. Press your chosen medium firmly into the mould, working from the center outward to eliminate air pockets in the gill and cap texture detail.
2. Smooth the back flat with a palette knife or your finger.
3. Allow to set or cure fully according to your medium's instructions.
4. Flex the silicone mould gently to release the cast mushroom.
5. Adhere to your surface using strong craft adhesive or gel medium.
6. Once dry, paint, dry-brush, or wax over the casting to finish.

Tips for Best Results

• Use the Measure Marks on the mould to measure your medium before pressing.
• For the large parasol cap: press medium very firmly into the gill cavities — these are the finest detail; allow to cure fully before releasing.
• For the morel: press medium carefully into all the honeycomb cavities and allow to cure fully before releasing to preserve the texture.
• For IOD Decor Mousse: press firmly, scrape the back flat, and allow to air-dry in the mould for 10–15 minutes before releasing.
• Woodland finish: paint in warm stone or aged cream, apply raw umber thinned with water into all gill and cap recesses, wipe back the high points for a foraged specimen effect.
• For a dramatic dark background: paint the surface deep forest green or black before applying mushrooms in cream or gold for maximum contrast.
• Prime cast pieces before painting for best paint adhesion.
