Autumn Mushroom Embroidery Design, Fall Forest Machine Pattern, Instant Download

Cottagecore mushroom designs have been really popular for the past couple years and I digitised this one back in november after a customer wrote me asking if I had an autumn mushroom with actual gill detail underneath the cap, not just a solid shape. So I went back in and built it properly, 9 colours, 15818 stitches, 3.5 inches wide by 3.35 tall, density at 209. The gills are satin-stitched in directional fills that fan outward from the stem, which is what gives it the dimensional look rather than a flat cartoon.

the digitising software lets me do that kind of underlay layering and it shows here. The cap has its own underlay pass before the rust fill goes down, so the colour stays rich even on darker fabric. Use no-show mesh on knit fabrics and a firm tearaway on woven cotton or linen. Topping helps if youre hooping on any fluffy fabric like fleece or felt, push it on the mushroom cap especially, the white spots can get buried if theres alot of pile.

I've run this on a navy cotton sweatshirt and an olive green linen tote and it looked great on both. Pick thread colours that shift warm if you want the palette to really pop, avoid cool-toned threads for the rust cap, they knock the autumn warmth out of it. Email me if you need the stitch file adjusted for a specialty hoop size and Ill see what I can do about resizing within the format limits.

Hoop tight, run at 700 spm max for the dense cap area, and press with a pressing cloth on the reverse after you finish, it settles the stitches nicely on linen especially. Email me through the shop contact if you want a smaller mushroom variant and Ill prep the file.
