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: Pleurotus eryngii (King Trumpet) Type: Good Location: The King Trumpet is native to the Mediterranean regions of Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, and also grows in many part of Asia. Unlike other species of Pleurotus, which are primarily wood decay fungi, the Pleurotus eryngii are also weak parasites on the roots of plants and can also be cultured on organic wastes. Trivia: The Pleurotus eryngii has little flavor or aroma when raw, but when cooked, it develops a rich flavor and meaty texture. It also contains chemicals that stimulate the immune system and function as a cholesterol-lowering dietary agent. 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.
