Mushrooms

I can’t remember where these were made. I also have yellow base glass and green patches. 🔥

Mushroom type are Japanese I think ??

That`s what I remember. I think it was our old friend Winnie in Amsterdam who first talked about them, but my brain cells are getting a little frayed in that era . . .

I will just add that the term "mushrooms" is new to me and that these colors do show up in Akro patches and corks as well.
I like it--Japanese mushrooms--eat em up for sure.

I would love to see more of these "mushrooms" if any one has any images or links.
Nice marble--Fire

I`m sure there must be a thread on here somewhere - I think it was probably the first time anyone here heard "Mushroom." Maybe a hunt through the Archives, or maybe Steph remembers it -

Bat Signal for Steph?

Collector name.  If you look at the colored pics, you can just see, on some of them, that what appears as just a band, is actually a band that is a little wider on one end than the other. Where the two different - sized ends meet you can see that viewed just right it can look like a mushroom. Cap on top of a stem.  It`s a stretch, but now accepted as a name for these weird things.
