The Fly Agaric

This was a great year for this classic toadstool - The Fly Agaric - or Amanita Muscaria. Lots appeared under the Birch trees by the gate. I covered some of them with flower pots as they emerged and before the squirrels, rabbits and deer could demolish them.

This is a portion of one of the bigger ones trampled by a passing animal. I left it uncovered by an open window and I am very happy with the result.

This print is made using wild mushrooms picked sustainably in the garden. 

The frame (purchased) is 42.5cm high x 32.5cm length x 4cm deep which can be hung. I used black foam board and a black frame with glass.

Like a fingerprint, each mushroom has its own unique pattern which ebbs as it ages. This print is absolutely original and unique.

It is not recommended to remove the print from the frame due to its very delicate nature and not all my prints are sealed.

These mushrooms were picked fresh and, therefore, a certain amount of moisture soaked into the card causing some warping. This a natural part of the process of spore printing and not a fault in the print.
