Mushrooms is a 1000-piece puzzle from Cavallini & Co. It was the oldest puzzle on my to do shelf, so I decided I should finally tackle it. This company has unique packaging with each puzzle in a decorative puzzle tube with a mini poster and a drawstring muslin bag for the pieces. It’s quite distinctive but a bit awkward on the shelf.
The quality of the puzzle itself was good with a couple of issues. I loved the smooth feel of the pieces, but one was bent and wouldn’t lay flat. Also, the image was coming loose from the knobs when I would try a piece and then have to pull them apart if they didn’t fit.
The first half of the puzzle was pretty easy as there are several distinctive sections of different colors. It did get challenging after that and when I got down to the pieces that were all or mostly cream, I had to sort by shape and then try each piece one by one to find the right spot.
I did enjoy the challenge, though, and the finished puzzle is very pleasant to look at.

Yes, I want to try Villager and Reverie, but I haven’t seen them in exchanges or online to buy them. Villager might be on Puzzedly.com, but it was super expensive. Too bad about the tariffs, we are missing out on some great Canadian puzzles.

Yes they are very expensive. I did splurge on a couple from their most recent collections, but it was definitely a lot!

That is an interesting puzzle, Trish. Not sure it would be my first choice either, though. I recently did a puzzle that came packaged in a little mesh bag inside the box. Thought that was a nice touch. And I love it when they include a poster!

Yes, a poster inside the box is so nice, and any sort of reusable bag is great.
