Most of the places that I've been don't have a great selection --
largely, they have these
things that look like long strands of kelp or something.  Chopped up
they wouldn't look
any good, and as-is they're just too big.  I'll have to check out
Wal-Mart, though.

My wife has made some neat plants out of sculpey, and I have to convince
her to make some
more giant mushrooms for me.
