Happy Mushroom Monday everyone! 🍄
It's been a long few weeks getting orders ready for the holiday season, and there's still much work to be done, but I'm really excited to show you a few closeups of some of the new mushroom themed products now in the shop including pins, prints, sculptures and much more.
This is just a start to the mushroom madness with more on the way for 2023.
Thank you to everyone for your patience around the holiday season, for all the amazing reviews, and your kind words. I couldn't be more appreciative. So thank you all so, so much! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

I love that a practically half-defrosted, feverish 60 years old man can emerge from a coma purely because his baby girl is under threat, and just... follow up with whatever deranged shit that was...
That’s hot.

Looking for a power boost? Don’t count on this fungus! 🍄 The fly agaric (Amanita muscaria) can be spotted on forest floors throughout the Northern Hemisphere, with a range that includes parts of North America and Europe. Its bright red cap may be alluring, but it’s also a warning. Traditionally used as an insecticide, this mushroom is considered toxic to humans. Consumption can cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and hallucinations. In rare cases, it can even induce a coma-like state.

Tell me a shroom fact please
a recently-found amber fossil (dating to ~100 million years ago) suggests that dinosaurs ingested psychotropic fungi !!
in this fossil, we see some of the earliest recorded evidence of grass. atop the grass? a fungal parasite. in comparison with our fungi today, this fungus is most similar to ergot - fungi that grow on rye & produce alkaloids. ergot has been used as a medicine, a poison & a hallucinogen by humans for thousand of years.
"there’s no doubt in my mind that it would have been eaten by sauropod dinosaurs, although we can’t know what exact effect it had on them."
- george poinar jr, of the oregon state university's college of science.
the small chance that dinosaurs tripped on psychedelics keeps me going, tbh.
