A reader wants to know where one might obtain a funghellino.
I don’t know why one couldn’t just use a cake or pastry stand.
They seem to be about the same.

“He [Satan] will set up a counter-Church which will be the ape of the Church because, he the devil, is the ape of God. It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content. It will be a mystical body of the anti-Christ that will in all externals resemble the mystical body of Christ. In desperate need for God, whom he nevertheless refuses to adore, modern man in his loneliness and frustration will hunger more and more for membership in a community that will give him enlargement of purpose, but at the cost of losing himself in some vague collectivity.”
“Who is going to save our Church? Not our bishops, not our priests and religious. It is up to you, the people. You have the minds, the eyes, and the ears to save the Church. Your mission is to see that your priests act like priests, your bishops act like bishops.”
- Fulton Sheen

"But if, in any layman who is indeed imbued with literature, ignorance of the Latin language, which we can truly call the 'catholic' language, indicates a certain sluggishness in his love toward the Church, how much more fitting it is that each and every cleric should be adequately practiced and skilled in that language!" - Pius XI
"Let us realize that this remark of Cicero (Brutus 37, 140) can be in a certain way referred to [young lay people]: 'It is not so much a matter of distinction to know Latin as it is disgraceful not to know it.'" - St. John Paul II
Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Prayer Before Using The Internet HERE
Almighty and eternal God, who created us in Thine image and bade us to seek after all that is good, true and beautiful, especially in the divine person of Thine Only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, grant, we beseech Thee, that, through the intercession of Saint Isidore, Bishop and Doctor, during our journeys through the internet we will direct our hands and eyes only to that which is pleasing to Thee and treat with charity and patience all those souls whom we encounter. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

A short mushroom-shaped stand placed on the altar at a pontifical mass to hold the bishop’s skull cap during the Eucharistic prayer.
That would be my advice too… a fine silver shop that would sell a small torte or pastry stand. Unless there is some special aspect of the real thing that makes an “imposter funghellino” inappropriate.
Chironomo: I suppose the only real difference is that funghellino is often curved, so that the beanie more easily retains its shape. This is not a major factor.
Does it need to look flashy? If not, I would suggest looking into sites selling retail fixtures. Many shops use just such a stand in their window displays.
Having served many a Pontifical Mass back in the 1950’s I can say that I never saw such a device used (nor have I encountered it in any book of rubrics). At Low Mass the chaplain to the bishop’s right simply removed the zuchetto and placed it on the folded chalice veil to the right of the Corporal. At Pontifical Mass an MC removed it and took it to a credence table.
I wonder if such a device wouldn’t crowd things on the altar or even run the risk of tipping over. But far be it from me to object to the return of any Pontifical item.
Here in the British Commonwealth, Barristers still wear horse hair wigs in some superior courts.
Perhaps a judical or barrister’s wig stand could be used for the purpose?
