Take a cue from spring foragers and bring the lush woodland carpet to the dinner table. Assorted mushrooms, including cremini, Trumpet Royale, honshimeji, and enoki, rise from a bed of cushion moss and lend an unexpected touch of whimsy. A wide ironstone tureen showcases the arrangement and helps anchor it among the table's place settings.

Cushion moss is available from florists. If you use moss from your yard, return it to its natural spot after you disassemble the arrangement. Individual arrangements of cushion moss and muscari blooms make a grand impression when grouped en masse. These rustic wooden cachepots, reminiscent of tree stumps, enhance the natural theme.
