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: Gyromitra Esculenta (False Morel) Type: Bad Location: The Gyromitra esculenta is commonly found on sandy soil in temperate coniferous forests, and ocasionally in deciduous woodlands, under pines and sometimes under aspen. It is widely distributed throughout Europe and North America. Trivia: Experts speculate that the poisonous reaction is more of an allergic reaction specific to the consumer rather than innate toxicity of the fungus. Some people would suffer severely and even perish while others would exhibit no symptoms after eating similar amounts of the mushrooms. Even though being widely recognized as potentially deadly, the Gyromitra esculenta is considered a popular delicacy in Scandinavia, Eastern Europe and upper Great Lakes region of North America. Despite being parboiled before preparation, it is suggested that even this procedure may not make the mushroom entirely safe for consumption. 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.
