I made leaves by piping green royal icing using a leaf tip onto parchment paper and letting them dry hard. They stuck to the ganache easily. You could also make the leaves out of fondant.
I had a punnet of red currants quite by accident as when my groceries arrived from my online shop, I had bought them thinking they were cherries. A happy accident, indeed! You could also use coconut thread dyed with a little green food colouring, for "grass" or pipe grass or leaves directly onto the cake with royal icing or buttercream.
You could also poke these into a loaf of brown bread, or a piece of foam covered in clingfilm (you don't want the marsh mallows to touch foam if you can avoid it). As an alternative to chocolate cake, you could use brownie. They would also look good just lying on a plate if you don't have the time or inclination to do anything else.
I finished my marshrooms off with a spray of edible shellac, to give them some shine, but that is totally optional, as not many of us have that lying around!
