Poplar WOOD with FUNGI Texture, Extraclear Polished RESIN, FELT hidden at the bottom.
The Fungi Stool is a block of wood obtained from a dead Poplar tree with its native populations of fungi, inside and outside the log. The final stages in the life cycle of a tree attracts specialised fungi organisms which attack the wood breaking down the tough lignin layer that protects it.
Fungi are in the air. They just await the opportunity to take advantage of the right conditions to grow and transform the organic matter. Wood decay fungi is always unique. No two pieces are exactly the same because there’s precise time, place and environmental conditions for its genesis.
