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 bisporigera (Eastern Destroying Angel) Type: Bad Location: The Amanita bisporigera can be found most commonly in eastern North America and is also widely distributed in Canada and it's range extends south to Mexico. Species have also been found in Columbia. Like most Amanita species, the Destroying Angel forms a mutually beneficial mycorrhizal relationship with trees, where the hyphae of the fungus grows around the roots of the trees, enabling the fungus to receive moisture, protection and nutritive byproducts of the tree, while also giving the tree greater access to soil nutrients. Trivia: The Amanita bisporigera is considered the most toxic North American Amanita mushroom. The toxins interfere with various cellular functions, with first symptoms appearing 6 to 24 hours after consumption, followed by a period of apparent improvement, then by symptoms of liver and kidney failure, and death after four days or more. 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.
