Mushroom Cat Sweatshirt: Embroidered Black Cat Among Red Toadstools and Autumn Leaves

This mushroom cat sweatshirt shows a round black cat curled low in the grass, tail up and big white eyes looking straight at you, as if it has just found a patch of toadstools in the woods. A tall red mushroom rises behind it, a white-stemmed toadstool stands to its right, and a ring of little red mushrooms grows around its paws while orange and gold leaves drift down. It is a ready-made design: choose the color and size, add a name on the sleeve if you like, and we stitch it to order. Every stitch is 100% real embroidery, stitched into the fabric rather than printed.

What is on the mushroom cat sweatshirt?

The mushroom cat sweatshirt has 3 parts:

• The cat: a fluffy black cat lying down with its tail raised, round white eyes and pointed ears, stitched in dense black thread at the center of the chest.
• The mushrooms and leaves: red toadstools with white spots, tan and cream stems, tufts of green grass and five autumn leaves in orange and gold around the cat.
• The sleeve (optional): a name, initials or short word and an icon from the font and icon chart, in the font and thread color you choose, on the left or right sleeve.

Is it a black cat mushroom sweatshirt for every day?

Yes. There are no words, ghosts or pumpkins on it, so this black cat mushroom sweatshirt reads as a cute forest scene rather than a holiday design. Wear it on a fall walk, to a farmers market or around the house with your own cat on your lap, from the first cool morning through spring.

Is it a cottagecore cat sweatshirt?

Yes. Red toadstools, wild grass and falling leaves are classic cottagecore details, and the cat hiding among them gives the design a storybook feel. It pairs well with jeans, a long skirt or a knit beanie, and it suits anyone who loves foraging walks, mushroom hunting or a slow weekend outdoors.

Which color should you choose?

Pick a color in the options above and the photos switch to it, so you can see the design on that color before you order. Every color photo shows a finished sweatshirt, and several were taken in the embroidery hoop right after stitching. The black cat stands out most on light and mid-tone sweatshirts; on darker colors the cat looks more subtle, while its white eyes, the red mushrooms and the bright leaves carry the design.

How do you order your sweatshirt?

To order your sweatshirt, follow 4 steps:

• Choose the sweatshirt color and size in the options above.
• Choose whether to add sleeve embroidery.
• If you add it, type the name or initials, then pick the icon, font, thread color and sleeve.
• Add it to your cart; we email a free design proof before we stitch.

How do you add a name on the sleeve?

Sleeve embroidery is optional and goes on one sleeve. Type a short name or your initials, such as your cat’s name, and pick an icon, a font and a thread color from the charts in the photos, or leave the icon off. White thread is preselected and reads best on the darker colors; pick Black or another dark thread for a light sweatshirt.

Is it a good gift for a cat lover?

Yes. It suits a cat mom or dad with a black cat, a friend who collects mushroom decor, or anyone who loves fall and the woods. Add the cat’s name on the sleeve to make it personal, and find more black cat designs in our black cat sweatshirts.

Is there a hoodie or T-shirt version?

No. This design comes only on the crewneck sweatshirt, so the color and size options above are all for that sweatshirt.

What happens after you order?

We email you a free digital design proof, and you can ask for unlimited edits. Once you approve it, we embroider your sweatshirt to order and ship it from the USA; the estimated delivery date is shown on this page. For Halloween, a birthday or a holiday, order at least two weeks ahead.

Which size should you choose?

Each piece is made to order, so it is not eligible for size exchanges. Open the size guide on this page and compare the measurements with a sweatshirt you already own before you order; size up for a roomy, oversized look.

How should you wash an embroidered sweatshirt?

To keep the embroidery bright and flat, follow 4 steps:

• Turn the sweatshirt inside out before washing.
• Wash it cold with similar colors.
• Tumble dry low or hang it to dry.
• Iron on the reverse side, never directly on the embroidery.

Frequently asked questions

Is the mushroom cat printed or embroidered?

It is embroidered. The cat is filled with dense black stitches, and each mushroom cap, stem, grass tuft and leaf is stitched in its own thread, so the design has a raised texture you can feel and will not crack or peel like a print.

Is it a Halloween sweatshirt?

It is a fall design more than a Halloween one, but a black cat among red toadstools fits a low-key Halloween look too. For black cats in autumn leaves, see the black cat fall sweatshirt and the fall cat sweatshirt.

Can the cat look like my own cat?

This black cat is a ready-made design. To stitch your own cat’s face from a photo, choose the embroidered cat sweatshirt, and see more cat designs in our cat sweatshirts.
