ROCK MUSHROOMS

Discover the magical glen of the "Rock Mushrooms", created by Piedmont, California sculptor Richard Botto.  The rocks come from the Tahoe area, and his creative use of materials come from his time as a kid, that was spent in the family's metal fabrication shop.  The artist has donated this Rock Mushroom Garden to the Town. It is for sale for $35,000.

The following is a poem inspired by this sculpture:

Mushroom Village

By Geoffrey K. Leigh

Propped tall motionless statures perfectly balanced tilted hats patiently waiting for cover of darkness to loosen stone veneer brew magical life of laughter shifting dance positions and interactions until sunlight hardens external surface solid unmovable awaiting moonlight shadows again freeing inner music and joy
