A knot hole in the side of a tree trunk with over a dozen tiny little brown, white edged mushrooms growing on a dark back wall. The outside bark and inside the hole also has scattered moss

[EDIT: The right one already found a home, thank you so much! Still one left though~ ]

Two new original paintings are up for sale!

Gouache and coloured pencil on watercolour paper, based on personal photos

Adopt them: https://lindenshieldarts.com/products/mixed-media-originals-amanita

A photo of two paintings placed on a wooden table, surrounded by paint brushes, coloured pencils, and leaves for decoration. Both paintings feature amanita mushrooms in the forest, the left one in a sunny setting, the right one in a misty setting.

Found some nifty fungus friends growing on this standing dead birch yesterday.

Probably one of my favourite studies to date, based on a personal photo snapped on a hike (ofc ).

Gouache on watercolour paper

A photo of a gouache painting, placed on a table and surrounded by paint brushes and plants for decoration. The painting features two small, cream-coloured mushrooms growing on a rock next to a shallow stream, the water glinting in the sunlight. A wall of moss and some tiny ferns are visible in the background.

I'm reposting everything from my old Instagram, to keep my archive and have a record of my work's development. I'm adding commentary below the original text.

This is from 17 April 2018
Do you have a favorite mushroom? There are so many amazing ones. So many most beautiful and strange mushrooms that I sometimes don't even know which ones to make next.
Currently I am working on a range of lights with just one mushroom light in a glass tube. Those would be a little quicker to make, and a little cheaper to buy. So do you have a favorite mushroom you would like to see as a light?

I'm still curious about other people's favorite mushrooms, so let me know! I did go on to make the test tube mushrooms, called Pixels. They disappeared quickly, so I should probably make more.
If you could grow a glowing mushroom anywhere, where would you put it? On my walks through the neighborhood, I’ve seen a fallen tree stretching over a little bit of water. It’s not dead - just keeps on growing. The horizontal trunk is in a dark, shadowy place, covered in moss. I've been fantasizing about putting some mushrooms there. That would be the perfect spot.

#mosstodon #mushtodon #art #ArtistsOnMastodon

A glass dome encases three glowing white mushrooms with slender stems and slightly ruffled caps. The mushrooms emit a soft, cool-toned light, highlighting their delicate textures. They emerge from a base of dried moss, which contrasts with their smooth, pale surfaces. The scene is set against a dark background, emphasizing the glow of the mushrooms.

@loren found this cool stick

A stick with grayish/black cup lichen (it might be Physcia aipolia, Hoary rosette lichen) growing on it.

The other side of the stick with patches of an orangish fungi growing. It resembles coral or the folds of a brain.

Fungi Kinship Zine Workshop was a delight!

We had some great conversations about why is there so much mycophobia in books to why do some fungi grow completely differently in the wild vs. cultivation or how can we connect with fungi without wanting to eat them?

The library did a great job of providing us art and fungi reference books, and we brought a few of our own books plus zines! We did stretches to take us through the lifecycle of a fungus, a meditation on our daily lives work fungi, and got to make zines with collage materials from outdated resource books and nature magazines.

You can find the zines we pulled for the workshop here: https://pad.riseup.net/p/zineWorkshop

A drawing of a mushroom on tree with the sun setting in the distance, a poem surrounded by doodles of various fungi

A zine that features colorful cut outs of fungi that use paper printed with the texture that fungi would grow on

Myself showing the quote about fungal kinship to the front of the group

A drawing of a mushroom cluster has been cut and pasted on the top of the zine. Over it the words "fungal kinship" have been written.

A very cool Jelly Roll Fungus for #fungifriday

A very unique looking purple-brown mushroom on a tree branch. This type of mushroom has no stems, and the fruits grow in wrinkled clumps that almost look like little wet raisins.

No puedo esperar al otoño para tener nuevos amiguitos para el #FungiFriday! Mientras tanto, más fotos de archivo del año pasado

Un grupo de hongos basidiomicetos de distintos tamaños crece entre el suelo húmero y oscuro. Sus sombreros, de color café claro, están cubiertos por pequeñas partículas de tierra, mientras que sus estípites son más blanquecinos. En el fondo hay otros hongos y tierra desenfocada.

I walked by this log two mornings in a row, on the second there were mushrooms that weren’t there on the first.

“And in the morning, without my hearing it, there might be a mushroom that was not there the night before, creamy white, pushed up from the pine needle duff, out of darkness to light, still glistening with the fluid of its passage. Puhpowee.”

—Robin Wall Kimmerer in Braiding Sweetgrass

A cluster of seven mushrooms, still glistening with moisture, growing out of the top of a rotting log in the woods.

I don’t think you’re ready for this jelly fungus

(Anyone have a positive id for these?)

Some kind of jelly fungus growing on a hardwood tree. It’s brownish and wrinkled, soft and jelly-like to the touch.

a bundle for #MushroomMonday , from a quick walk before the week of rain

a single sprout of some green plant that vaguely resembles cilantro, cradled inside a bright orange bowl mushroom, centered in a blurry background of mosses and dead leaves

a young and tiny conk mushroom with white rim and gold top, alone among a much wider scene on the underside of a mossy fallen tree suspended above the ground

the top surface of an older dried-out conk mushroom, mostly a parched light brown, but with spots of darker brown moisture from the beginning of a rain

an older, larger, and more venerable mushroom with glossy black topside and cream-white underside, separated by a golden rim in a very wavy & flowing pattern, decorated by various forest detritus

Some days you just feel like smashing a Giant Puffball with a shovel.

(Not that you need a reason to whomp a volleyball-sized mushroom with a metal stick, but passing it off as a way to demonstrate the science of spore dispersal always made me feel like I had found my calling.)

I miss teaching.

Standing at the left of the photo is me, wearing a blue polo and tan shorts. I’m holding a shovel over my shoulder while talking to 15 people, who are in a semi circle. We are in a meadow with leafed trees in the background. In the grass in front of us, is a giant puffball mushroom about the size of a soccer ball. I am getting ready to smash the puffball with the shovel, sending the blackened spores into the air. The looks on the people are a mixture of anticipation and total “what is Dan going to do to us this time?”

The same spot in the meadow is now empty (I have moved the people out of range of the spores) except for me. My backside is visible as I am slamming the shovel into the puffball which has exploded into a dust cloud of millions of spores. In the very center of the photo is an airborne section of the puffball.

photo of a whole bunch of tiny mushrooms growing on the bark of a dead, but still standing tree; most of them are small, cream-colored, gilled fungi with some more orangey tones on the tops of the caps; there is also a slightly larger polypore visible with its bottom surface dotted by relatively large, circular pores; the top of the polypore is obscured by a piece of bark being pushed away from the tree

photo of many small orange polypore fungi growing from another dead-but-still-standing tree; the camera is angled up looking at the pore-surfaces of the fungi, which appear to be finely toothed, but we're too far away to get a really clear view

photo of a group of large polypore fungi growing from the bottom of a fallen log which is propped up off the ground; the tops are irregular and have a banded coloration of dark and light browns; the pore surfaces are mostly white with some discolored areas, and continue around the edges to cover a bit of the tops; the pores are far too small to be seen from this distance so the pore surfaces appear completely smooth; above the fungi, the log is covered in a dense layer of vibrant green moss

These photos of a new polypore mushroom beginning to form were taken 8 weeks apart. You can make out the gradual color transformation as the white in the December photo becomes a cream in the February photo. The white of the snow really sets it off!
