5. Round 4: Chain 1, then (2 single crochets, 2 single crochets in the next stitch) around. Join with a slip stitch. (You should have 24 stitches)
6. Round 5: Chain 1, then (3 single crochets, 2 single crochets in the next stitch) around. Join with a slip stitch. (You should have 30 stitches)
7. Fasten off the yarn and weave in the ends using a tapestry needle.

Mushroom Stem (Beige)

1. Start with a magic ring. Chain 1, and work 6 single crochets into the ring. Join with a slip stitch. (You should have 6 stitches)
2. Round 2: Chain 1, then work 2 single crochets in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch. (You should have 12 stitches)
3. Rounds 3-4: Chain 1, then work a single crochet in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch at the end of each round. (You should have 12 stitches each round)
4. Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.

Assembly

1. Position the mushroom stem under the mushroom cap. Using the long tail from the stem, sew the two pieces together securely.
2. With the white yarn, embroider small spots on the mushroom cap to mimic a classic toadstool appearance. You can create 5-7 spots for a whimsical look.
3. Repeat the entire process to create a set of four coasters, ensuring each one is unique yet consistent in style.
