Mushroom-shaped landscape canopies

Mushroom describes a landscape form. Compare appearance with actual use beneath the canopy: a visual landmark, shelter over seats or a small activity space.

Match central supports to the usable area

For an umbrella-like form, check space around the support and the relationship of edges to paths and seating. Discuss drainage before finalising the shape, rather than relying on the plan outline alone.
