Will the natural mycelium shade change color over time?

The color of the mycelium skin is naturally white. Over time it will age and take on a slightly more golden hue. To maintain a bright white exterior, select the white milk paint option or explore available limewash colors.

How long will a mycelium lampshade last?

MushLume's oldest lampshades are 10+ years old and still beautiful. Even though the material is biodegradable, as an indoor lighting application it is stable and inert and will bring many years of use.

How do I clean a mycelium lampshade?

Use a duster and gently brush the exterior shade. Do not use any liquids or cleaners.

What spaces are best for mycelium lighting?

MushLume lighting is rated for indoor use only. Dry, climate-controlled environments are best. For bathroom or kitchen applications, painted options are recommended to preserve the material from moisture and airborne grease.

Can MushLume lighting be customized?

Yes. MushLume can accommodate many customization requests including cord length, cord color, and shade modifications. Contact info@mushlumelighting.com for details.

Is the Terrace Flush Mount safe for indoor use?

Yes. It is UL Listed and tested to ASTM E84 Class A fire performance, with no off-gassing or VOCs.

What bulb does the Terrace Flush Mount Small use?

A Tala Dim-to-Warm LED sphere bulb sized to fit the fixture is included. For replacements, any E26 medium-base LED, 60W equivalent.

Can I customize the hardware finish?

Yes. Four hardware finishes are available: matte black, matte white, brushed nickel, and raw brass. Contact MushLume at info@mushlumelighting.com for custom requests.

Will the Terrace Flush Mount shade change color over time?

The natural mycelium finish will age to a warmer golden tone over time. Painted finishes maintain consistent color.

Is the Terrace Flush Mount dimmable?

Yes, when used with a dimmable LED bulb. A compatible dimmer is strongly recommended but not included.

Fixture Type:

Inspired by the natural beauty of terraced landscapes, the MushLume Terrace Ceiling Flush Mount Small — "Journey Inward" — is a low-profile 12–13-inch diameter fixture handcrafted from carbon-sequestering hemp and living mushroom mycelium — grown, not manufactured. Mounted flush to the ceiling on a 5-inch canopy, it's ideal for hallways, bathrooms, bedrooms, and rooms with lower ceilings — beautiful solo or installed in a series. Each shade is hand-formed in our Brooklyn studio, so no two are exactly alike; finished dimensions vary by 1–2 inches. A Tala Dim-to-Warm LED sphere bulb, sized to fit the fixture, is included.
