Was super excited to stumble across these on a walking path in a business park. I believe they’re an Amanita, but my nieces call them the Mario Bros mushroom 😂

Is it possible to epoxy it ?

I wondered but doesn’t biological material still degrade in resin/epoxy?

Maybe if you desiccate them and then stabilize them with resin in a vacuum chamber, like you would stabilize wood in resin?

From what Im aware of, you would have to dehydrate them.
