Literally just a tube. (And a hollow)

Also base is a dildo.

Where does one obtain new newspapers, much less old newspapers?

I keep getting grocery store circulars on newsprint even though I never signed up.

Kinda thinking of making something paper mache for Halloween.

My folks still read news on inconveniently huge sheets of dread tree. I haven't visited them in a while, so I was actually a bit surprised to see

You can buy a big roll of the paper I think that sell it as butcher paper.

Please don't do that!

Most printing uses ink which is not exactly healthy and bringing it in the ground where the paper disintegrates and leaves the ink mobile is not a good thing.

How many of those could you print with the plastic used for the mushroom ? Also they would be indefinitely reusable.

The idea with the paper ones is that the paper is biodegradable and the entire thing can be planted in the ground when the seedling is ready.
