Description

The Fungus Among Us is a digital risograph trading card collection, consisting of 22 different mushrooms divided into three categories: the good, the bad and the trippy. I've always been fascinated by mushrooms and their relationship with humans and life in general. From the harmless edibles to the deadly beautiful species and the special mushrooms filled with knowledge to share, fungi have been turning death into life dating way back over a billion years. Their intelligence isn't only shared wwith humans and other animals, but amongst themselves being capable of long distance communication and other characteristics which make them that much intriguing. In the end, this collection is just a way I found to externalize my fascination in the best way I know how, and I hope I can share a bit of this with you. Species: Amanita Muscaria (Fly Agaric) Type: Trippy Location: Originally from the Siberian-Beringian region, but later spreading across Asia, Europe and North America. Natively found in temperate and boreal regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Trivia: While dressed in red clothing with white spots, arctic shamans in Nordic countries would hand out Amanita Muscaria as part of their winter solstice celebration, which would later become what we know as Christmas. Other connections are the relation with reindeers as spiritual animals and the placing of the tree with red and white gifts on the base symbolizing where mushrooms normally grow from decaying organic matter. The Amanita is probablly the most recognizable of the mushrooms being seen in pop culture from Alice in Wonderland to the Super Mario series. All images in this collection are highly texture 3000x3000px PNGs, created using only three colors (Cyan, Magenta and Yellow), with tonal variations and other colors coming from halftones and color overlay in order to maintain the stipulated color limtiations.
