Notes & Tips:
Helpful to read before starting
~Do not join rounds unless indicated
~Try not to over stuff of stitches will spread and fiberfill will show through
~To help your eyes stand out, cut two small circles from white felt (I trace around a tiny button, slightly bigger then my eyes to help me get a nice circle). Cut a tiny slit in the center of the felt and insert stem of eye. Stuff head, decide where you like your eyes, hold in eyes in place or mark with a pen dot or pin. Remove stuffing, secure backing on safety eye and re-stuff. 
~Most pieces are closed with a long ending tail (unless otherwise indicated). To close with ending yarn tail; thread tapestry needle, weave through remaining stitches and pull tight to close.
~Use yarn and tapestry needle to give you mushrooms spots. I sew mine on with a few stitches before attaching the top of the mushroom to the stem
~Putting your mushrooms together: Thread tapestry needle with cream or pale yellow. Stuff stem and top. Whip stitch the top of the mushroom to the stem, using the unworked back loops on the inside of the top. Continue stuffing as you sew.
