Sadly, This Magic Mushrooms Board Isn’t Going To Give You A Hallucinatory Trip

They say magic mushrooms have been giving people psychotropic-induced hallucinations since 9000 BC. Unfortunately, this Magic Mushrooms Board from Wiener Silber Manufactur won’t give you those kind of trips, although it will make for a sensational table centerpiece that can do serious wonders to any kitchen and dining room.

Designed by Wolfgang Joop, the six-piece set is made up of different species and sizes of mushrooms, all meticulously sculpted in silver. Rather than use standard 92 percent silver, they used a special alloy that boasts 94 percent of the precious metal. While these will obviously make for eye-catching sculptural decoration, the mushrooms are actually functional containers that you can use to hold spices and supplies, whether it the brown sugar you like to scoop into your coffee, the chili garlic powder blend you sprinkle to spice up every dish, or the baking flour you use to make delicious homemade breads.

The Magic Mushrooms Board comes with a rough-worked zebrano wood plank that you can use as a platform for holding the different silver mushrooms, making it look like the fungal growth is coming right out of the dark and distressed board. Joop says he designed the set to serve as functional conversation pieces, the same way many elaborate items in the kitchen used to spark conversation among host and guests during the Baroque era. Each of the silver mushrooms are made by hand, so exact appearance and dimensions may vary slightly.
