    And Cody, when people ask you "How much?" they want a number. Give them a number. If they don't like it, that is on them. If you say "too much" some people out there says "That means it is rare and exclusive!" and they are willing to pay for it. Don't sell them for anything less than what they cost, obviously, but there are a LOT of weird people with a LOT of money that they want to give to people making mushrooms out of metal. It is best to not really question it, and to just price it accordingly. Thanks mystery Camera-operator! ;D

    So here's an idea for mass-producing some of these, if you're interested. Make a flexible silicone mold with the original mushroom, carefully separate the halves of that mold (maybe using a very thin wire?) and then use (and re-use) that to cast investment wax or foam, which you can then submerge in jeweler's investment or plaster. Yeah there are some downsides, like loss of detail, a visible seam (and not every resulting bronze will be unique) but at least you can get more output per mushroom input. Just the fact of not losing your original mold with each one produced would, in my opinion, outweigh the quality drawbacks. If you're interested in selling some, that's how I'd at least explore going about producing more.

    Having played with silicone enough I can say fairly confidently that the detail you can get on the mold will be really really great, and you don't really need to be that careful as you cut them apart - a saw tooth finish helps register the parts together again. You can end up with mold that register so well and are thick enough to not deform easily that there are no visible seams (for the first few casting at least), it won't last though, but a little flashing is always easy to remove being so thin. Does Help to have a vacuum chamber to pull the bubbles out - in this case definitely BEFORE you pour it into the mold as the mushrooms won't take well to even a light vacuum (but I have often put the poured mold in the vacuum and just left it overnight). But as casting silicone tend to have at least several hours of real working time so it isn't that required there. I have however never tried to cast a jewellery wax in the mould myself. But I expect you can actually be lazy and heat the wax and mold in a oven together and wait however long it takes to really flow well through the the whole thing as silicone mold are pretty temperature tolerant and the wax is probably quite low melt temperature. Can also obviously pour melted wax in, but I suspect you will have to do a few false pours here before the silicon surface is warm enough the wax doesn't solidify too fast. BUT I have no actual experience with that part!!! Metal casting is something I intend to try one day, but for now its all been resins and a little of the foaming urethane stuff.

    @@foldionepapyrus3441 I have used silicon molds for casting jewelry findings. The detail is as good or better than casting straight into investment. By casting the mushroom into silicon, it is easier to get the mushroom out - as the silicon is somewhat flexible. If the mold is large, it is good to use some plates clamped over the large flat surfaces to provide some support when casting the wax pattern. The mold, unless very large, does not need to be completely separated - just split far enough to get the solidified wax pattern out of the mold. By heating the mold, when casting the wax, to about the temperature of the melted wax, there is no problem with it solidifying before the mold is completely filled. It is possible to make dozens, if not hundreds, of wax patterns in one silicon mold. There are plenty of videos available on lost wax casting. Burning the wax pattern out of the mold does not damage the detail as happens when you have to dig an original mushroom out of investment.

    If you wanted to make a bunch of copies of one mushroom, which would speed up the process of making molds, make a silicone rubber mold of one. You can pour or inject wax into that mold, giving you a replica of the mushroom which you can put into plaster as you would the mushrooms. A benefit of that would be that certain waxes do melt/burn out cleaner than organic material, so you don't need to make the two part plaster molds to remove the mushrooms to avoid ash. You could also possibly recover the wax, reusing it. If you do get into making parts for an engine or something else as you mentioned you might, I would look into using greensand or one of the petrobond sands. My favorite system is petrobond sand which I have used a number of times with 3d printed patterns at home and for my university's casting classes to make hammers, brackets, etc. but greensand can work well if you get the consistency right. One of the limitations with sand is that undercuts are generally not possible (there are some exceptions depending on the geometry and how you design your flasks). The benefits, especially for parts usually used in building machinery, tools, etc. is that you can reuse the pattern, you can reuse the sand and there is no cure time (less you use a resin bonded sand) meaning you can make your mold and go straight to casting it.

    What a pleasant surprise! I enjoyed your last metal mushroom video so much, I decided to give mushrooms a go myself. Eating them, that is. Bought some shiitake mushrooms from the supermarket, chopped them up and threw them into a risotto. I enjoyed it so much I made various risottos with mushrooms every night for more than a month. In the end I got fed up with them and had to have something else for a while. Now I just have them occasionally, but still enjoy them.

    It was recommended to me that I always let the mold dry fully before casting and to Drop the plaster into the water while its hot after casting. It makes for easier clean up and lowers the risk of dry dust exposure.

    Why don't you make silicone molds of the mushrooms? In this way you could make as many wax copies of the mushrooms as you like and after burning out the wax you would also have a one-piece mold from which the metal cannot run out so easily.

    The route to mass production would just be more like the jeweler route. Make one plaster mold of the mushroom which you use to make a wax copy. Clean up the wax copy and make a highly detailed silicon mold of it. Make new wax copies using said mold and then do solid plaster block lost wax casting for the final metal piece. Depending on scale of mushroom you could easily set up a singular plaster mold with full sprue of metal mushrooms.

    Since entrapped air can be a problem for such thin walled sections, a direct open sprue can hammer air into the melt at the bottom of the sprue, carrying the air with it. I recommend moulding an "offset step pouring basin" on top of the vertical sprue to prevent this. Adding phosphorus up to 0.15 wt% (solubility limit) improves fluidity during pouring, could help with gills.
