The verdict

This is the first Botanicals set to build a whole biome instead of a tidy vase of flowers, and that alone won me over.

Instead of another bouquet you get a chunk of Northern European woodland floor, fly agarics front and center with fibrecap, earthstar, chanterelle, bonnet and oyster mushrooms tucked around them. It comes together fast for an 806-piece set and looks like nothing else LEGO has put on a shelf. If you love the cottagecore, forest-floor look, this is an easy yes. If you specifically want a challenge, it is a gentle one.

Best for: Cottagecore and nature lovers who want a display piece with genuine character, not a build marathon

The full review

What it is

I did not expect to fall for a pile of LEGO mushrooms, but here we are. Woodland Mushrooms is the first Botanicals set that stops pretending nature is neat. Instead of a bouquet trimmed for a mantelpiece, you get a slice of Northern European forest floor, complete with a base textured to look like decaying wood around the edges. Multiple fly agarics sit at the heart of it, those classic red toadstools with white spots, surrounded by fibrecap, earthstar, chanterelle, bonnet and oyster mushrooms, with two purple autumn crocuses and green bracken fronds framing the whole thing. It reads less like a flower display and more like a small sculpture, and that shift in ambition is what got me.

The catch

I will be straight with you about the caveats, because there are a couple worth knowing. The mushroom caps are built around printed domes and radar dishes rather than clever brick geometry. In most LEGO lines that would be fine, but Botanicals is usually where inventive part use does the heavy lifting, so leaning on prints feels slightly against the grain (though honestly, I struggle to imagine those spotted caps built any other way). The other one is value. At roughly 80 dollars for 806 pieces the price per piece is fair, but the finished footprint is modest, and a few builders felt it looks a little small for the money once it is on the shelf. And if you came for a puzzle, this is a calm, quick build, not a test of patience.

Who it's for

Who should get this? Anyone drawn to the cottagecore, forest-floor, mushroom-everything aesthetic will adore it, because there is genuinely nothing else in the LEGO catalog that captures this mood. It is also a lovely set for someone who wants a relaxing evening rather than a weekend project, since it goes together smoothly with very little repetition. The people I would steer away are the hardcore technique hunters who want to be challenged and the folks who measure a set purely by size on the shelf. For everyone else, this is one of the most original display pieces the Botanicals line has produced, and I think it will age really well.

The parts story

What the build is actually like, and the pieces worth knowing about.

Building this one is a pleasant surprise if you have suffered through the endless identical petals of other Botanicals sets. Rambling Brick pointed out that beyond the stems in the foliage, there is barely any repetition here, and that matches my read of it. Each mushroom is its own little sub-build with its own shape and trick, so you keep moving on to something new rather than clipping the same element forty times. The clip-and-pin construction also means the fungi and undergrowth can be rotated or angled after the fact, so arranging the finished scene becomes part of the fun.

The standout piece of engineering is the underside of the mushroom caps. The gills are made from 16 white claw elements clipped around a steering wheel, sitting neatly under the dome, and it looks fantastic up close. New Elementary noted the set has no brand-new molds, but it does bring some genuinely useful recolors: a 6x8 plate that has never appeared in dark green before, plus a reddish-brown clip plate that is a surprising first. There is charming part reuse too, with dwarf hats standing in as smaller mushroom caps and yellow seashells doing woodland duty. The printed domes and radar dishes for the big caps are divisive, but there is no denying they look sharp.

Fun facts

01This is the first LEGO Botanicals set to recreate an entire biome, a patch of woodland floor, rather than a manicured bouquet or single plant meant for indoor display.
02The gills on the underside of the mushroom caps are built from 16 white claw elements clipped to a steering wheel piece, a bit of parts trickery that only shows when you look underneath.
03It introduces two notable recolors: the 6x8 plate in dark green (a first for that element) and a reddish-brown clip plate, per New Elementary's parts breakdown.
04Released June 1, 2026 at 79.99 US dollars for 806 pieces, it sits alongside Water Lilies and Cosmos Flowers in the summer 2026 Botanicals wave.
