Someone has stolen a 4-foot tall homemade mushroom sculpture from a front yard in Northeast Portland.
The owner, Aurelien Carnoy, carved it himself from a stump with a chainsaw over several weeks.
He says the stump was just sitting at The Grotto nearby, and no one could move it, and if he could move it he could have it.
He took the stump home, got a chainsaw and began carving.
His inspiration for the sculpture was Portland itself.
“There should be mushrooms all over the place and I don’t see any. The mushrooms will take over the world,” he says.
While he was gone for a few days, someone came by and stole the mushroom. He has filed a police report even though he knows it’s down on their list of priorities. “I just hope they didn’t sell it for a cheap price,” he said.
