This is the first time I’ve made a cast with brass. The result is not bad but melting brass is a pain so I probably won’t use it too often. I definitely don’t see being able to use it for ant colonies since it takes so long to melt even a small amount. Also, the higher temperature causes it to react far more violently when it hits water than aluminum.
Anyway, I believe this is a bolete mushroom. A cluster of these popped up in the yard and this was the best one. I don’t know the exact type of mushroom this is. I don’t see these very often and haven’t since. If you know, tell me in the comments section.
See the cast page for more info and pictures:
If you haven’t seen my other mushroom cast videos that are annotated, here’s a few answers to frequently asked questions:
-The white stuff is plaster
-The mushroom inside the plaster is removed before the brass is poured in
That’s all that I can think of right now. I’ll add more if I think of anything else.

Awesome work!
Amazing
YAY you posted!! I love your videos
That looks so cool! I liked the part where you turned the light off. I love it when you do mushrooms and other fun stuff. It'd be so cool if you cast some sort of beetle or other insects/skulls.
Nature is growing at your house
LOVE that you showed more of the process this time of what happens after the casting. That was fun to watch. Keep up the good work!
P.S. I love watching the ant hill castings, but I love your other videos, too, so keep up the good work!
What sort of halllosinations do you get from that
all your videos are lovely, be they ant hill, mushroom, or anything else! thank you for uploading!!
Impressive technique. You made it look easy. Nice piece.
That was the weirdest looking ant hill ever. lol. Jk looks great.

His content is awsome and should be more popular.
Is this how they make bronze statues of people?
Finally more vids from u!
Do your techniques allow for the casting of bigger mushrooms; is there a size limit? And are you able to cast mushrooms that grow on the side of trees?
I liked how you turned off the light and had a quiet look at the molten.
That mushroom kind of looks like the tip of a horse penis.
It would be so cool to see the bugs inside of the cast
Thank you for uploading again
Have not tried casting a Bonsai Tree yet?
Yes this is good
where's the anthill cast video?
btw ugliest schroom you could have taken……………
Finally another video!
No one likes these lame castings. We all subscribed for the ant hill castings. Do fruits too
Yay ur bck
It would be neat to try and cast a moral mushroom though I can see it would be a pain in the butt with all the crevices and such. Also have you thought of casting in silver before? Just wondering.
True ASMR video right here!! Love this!
Love the vids. Cast more fire ant colonies
Nice videos man!
11/10
Wow man did you even consider the mushroom's feelings first?
Awesome but I thought look better without cutting it.
Hey man! I tried making my own mushroom and it turned out great! (Except the top part came off ) thanks for the help!
This is ASMR.
Beautiful! Though i am favored to the anthill castings mushrooms and others are still quite as entertaining and equally as facinating. I would definitely like to see more frequent uploads but i in no way intend to rush you! Your content is amazing! Hope you have a nice day, or night, whenever you read this 🙂
That piece is gorgeous!
This brass/plaster combo sure is a winner compared to your last casts with aluminum. No chipping plaster off for hours!
You pointed out a lot of problems with using brass in the description, are there any actual benefits? If not why'd you try it out?
