Imperfect Sponge Mushroom Caps - 2-Ounce Bag

Sponge mushroom caps are real dried mushrooms, daedalea quercina.  These are imperfect sponge mushroom pieces.   Sponge mushrooms are real dried mushrooms that can be used on the ground or adhered to the sides of the habitat to make a shelf.  They are not spongey as the name implies.  They are a sturdy cork-like mushroom that are enjoyed by isopods and springtails  These vary greatly in size and shape.   We do not recommend these for aquariums.  Please visit our sister website www.naturepodsbotanicals.com for bulk quantities.
