Square
Review of the paper used:
I stumbled upon this video by Vincent Floderer demonstrating how to fold his mushroom. While you might argue whether it's still origami or not, it is definitely an interesting technique.
I'll avoid the discussion by simply calling it "crumpling". Anyone know what crumple means in Japanese? Google translate suggest: 揉む (crumpling) or 揉む紙 (crumpling paper).
Paper: 48cm square of Kraft paper (28gsm) - leftover from a failed attempt of another model
Model: 14.5cm height, 10cm diameter
And that's the great thing about crumpling, I guess. Just use the paper you would have else thrown away - and it only takes 2 minutes to complete.

hi sara
what was the failed attempted model?
also what is the hardest thing you have ever folded?

Secretary Bird
I tried folding the Secretary Bird by Roman Diaz, but found the paper was just too big to work with comfortably. It's always hard to say which the hardest model is, but it should either be Satoshi Kamiya's ancient dragon, or Hung Cuong Nguyen's eagle.

Great model!
Hi Sara,
This mushroom looks great...I will be trying it out shortly....I hope mine comes out as good as yours. By the way, I thought I'd send you the link of another video (Vincent Floderer's design, again) on the 'crumpling technique' This one of of Vincent Floderer's sea urchin (I think!) and is folded or crumpled rather from a napkin!
Here t is: http://www.youtube.c...
I thought you would find it interesting :)

Paper
Hi Sara,
I tried to fold it, but I didn't have the appropriate paper.
What is the paper called and where did you buy it?
Thanks for feedback.

Paper choice
I used 28gsm Kraft paper, which is available at http://www.origami-s.... Vincent Flodderer uses butcher's paper, I think.

Mabye?
You wet fold it. You crumple then you wrap it with ruber band and dunk it in water. Yuo wait untill it dries and you take off the rubber bands. (I'm kinda late am I?)

Hello.
Hi!Could this model be folded by gift wrapping paper?

Don't think so
Try baking paper instead. Paper napkins also work quite well, but you have to be extremely careful not to add too much water when forming the stem, and you probably need to stabilize it until it's fully dried.

Tissue Paper
In my experience tissue paper works best. Burger wrappers also work well, although you have to get the grease off somehow.

Paper to use
I'd try baking paper instead. I've also done this using paper napkins. It doesn't work as well, but it's a nice start.
I don't think copy paper or kami will work, I fear.

It is very hard to make
It is very hard to make mushrooms with copy paper, and the resultat is not very beautyfull. You should use thin paper (like napkins, paper hankie or tissue paper). So happy crumpling !

CRIMP web site
Nice photo !
But I recommend to crumple it much longer before wetting it.
The network on the "hat" of the mushroom would be better.
You can see the pictures at the Crimp's web site :

happy crumpling !
