Attribute Labels

An attribute's label is how it's identified throughout the collection. They are brief descriptors of what type of information is being displayed. Example Labels might be Material, Color, UPC, etc.

Attribute Description

This is not required, but can be useful for better explaining what this attribute represents.

Attribute Input Types

The input type defines how information is entered into a form for a specific attribute. Read below to better understand what each type means.

Single-line Text Box

This is a standard text box. It can hold a maximum of 250 characters and it looks like this:

Large Text Box

This is a multi-line text box. It should only be used for an attribute that may require large amounts of text (some like a detailed product description or notes). It looks like this (but larger):

Select Multiple Values

Use this when multiple pieces of information can be assigned to an attribute value for a given item. An example might be a "Colors" attribute and the inputs might look like this:

Red
Blue
Yellow
Green

Select Single Value

Use this when a single piece of information can be assigned to an attribute value for a given item from a pool of possible values. The resulting input is a drop-down box. An example might be a "Color" attribute and the input might look like this:

Number

Use this when the attribute's value will always be numeric. It allows for a more robust search by searching for a range of values.

US Dollar Amount

Use this when the attribute's value will always be a US Dollar amount. It places a dollar sign next to the input and allows for a more robust search by searching for a range of values.

Date

Use this when the attribute's value will be any combination of the following: month, day and year. The input will be a set of 3 drop down boxes that represent a month, day and year. However, not all of the boxes will need to have a value selected.

Yes or No

(AKA "True or False") Use this when the attribute's value will always be either true or false. Example attributes that would use this might be "Still in Production" or "Sold with Box".

Christopher Lawrence/John Hine Mushroom Houses

There are 8 houses in this collection. Beneath each roof of each house are "mush people" in various occupations. These little people appear to be elves or gobblins. Some are banking, some are playing cards,etc. The pieces were made in England startinf in 2001 with the last made in 2008. They are made of metal on wooden bases. Appears to be enamal paint on each.

Item Attributes

These are the suggested attributes individual items in this collection can posses. The more attributes we can identify, the better the archive will be structured. Not all items in the collection need to have each attribute listed here. For a better understanding of what attributes are and how they work, take a look around at some of the other collections in our archives. Use the collection jump box at the top of this screen to look around. *Most* of the attributes in each collection are searchable, so you can see what attributes each collection has by viewing its search box on the right side of each collection's home screen.

Label	Input Type Description
The Bank	Single-line Text Box gobblins are counting money under this mushroom house
The Elders	Single-line Text Box funny little house which looks like an igloo
the Cobbler	Single-line Text Box Has 3 separate scenes with gobblins under each roof
The Hospital	Single-line Text Box Looks like a house of straw
The Ministry	Single-line Text Box House is pointed like a Pine tree and tyhere are 3 levels of little people within-like a lighthouse

List Attributes

These are the suggested pieces of information that are unique to each instance of an item. List attributes are those that a user will assign to an individual item when they are adding it to their collection, wishlist or tradelist. For instance, coins, comic books and sports cards can be professionally graded, so these collections have a list attribute named "Grading Company" and "Grade Serial Number."

No list attributes suggested.

Condition & Grading Definitions

The following have been suggested as the condition guidelines that this collection will follow.

The best would be without any missing paint chips.

Current Resources

This section is reserved for an explanation of the main resources of information about this collection. It should include web sites, books, dealers or anything else that may be helpful in the initial creation of this collection.

There is a book which describes them in depth called "Capricious Mushrooms" by John Hine.
