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: Podostroma Cornu-Damae (Poison Fire Coral) Type: Bad Location: The Poison Fire Coral was once thought to be only native to Korea and Japan, but recent discoveries have been made in Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and some parts of Australia. Trivia: The fruit bodies of the fungus are highly toxic and have been responsible for several fatalities in Japan. Symptoms associated with the consumption in these cases include stomach pains, changes in perception, peeling skin on the face, hair loss and shrinking of the cerebellum, resulting in speech impediment and problems with voluntary movement. It has been claimed that touching the fungus can cause skin rashes, but this is controversial. 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.
