Cutting in half a small foam ball, I glued in a piece of wooden dowel and painted them beige.  After that was dry I added bits of brown paint for dimension.  These mushrooms are from my imagination so I didn't try to make them look like any particular type of actual mushroom 😉

For the storage container I used a real one from some actual mushrooms and repainted it in toasted marshmallow.

The top photo shows the mushrooms alone in their container while the bottom photo has a bit of plastic wrap in place.  This helps to keep them from falling out and looks like they were just picked up from the produce section.
