I love 'em!
Yup, I have a pretty good wee Victorinox Swiss-Army Knife and just use that.
I think I have photos of the process... mid-carve somewhere around here!
I'll have a look-see if I can find them...
Found ONE! LOL
OK, you can't see the knife... but it should give you some idea as to the "process" from stick to shroom!
(I use the saw on my knife to cut a ring just below what will be the cap of the mushroom first.
Then whittle the body down to that saw-cut.
Sometimes I leave a ring of bark on the edge of the mushroom... sometimes not!
Once I'm happy with it... Just saw through the base end and "release" into the wild!!)

Nice work.
