general question - has anyone dried mushrooms for presentation/decoration and how did it go / what did you do? I picked a few shelf mushrooms I want to put in my curio, and Id also like to start large glasspane shadowboxes full of pinned/identified mushrooms for the walls, with spring coming. Right now mine are in a ziplock in the freezer for the night, to kill any larave that might be nesting in them, but Id like to be prepared for what to do tomorrow when I take them out.

I was going to just take them out and let them air dry, but i dont know if there is a quicker method? Especially with shelf shrooms, they are so flipping big.

Roses...

I looked through the memories and tags but didn't really find what I'm looking for...

I was given some lovely flowers for my birthday. I have dried a rose upside-down... now I just want to do something to keep the petals from falling off eventually... Anybody have any ideas? Something really lightweight would work best, I think. I was thinking maybe brush around the base of it with some regular Elmer's glue? Or would a spray shellac/varnish work better? I just don't want the petals to ever fall off, I want it to keep its shape while displayed in a vase. (I like dead flowers... lol) Thanks for any thoughts!! :)
