More from Maquenda
I've been wanting to do this for years, but kept forgetting or the shrooms were aready shriveling up..
During primary school we used to make mushroom spore prints (I went to a Steiner school and we made lots of nature crafts..it's something I'm very grateful for because it made me feel much more in touch with nature and myself and my spritual side I believe)
You cut of the tops of the mushrooms and place them on a sheet of paper, black or white, depending on the spore colors, put a bowl or something to cover them so no air flow can damage the spore prints, wait a few hours, sometimes after an hour or less even! And voila, spore prints! =D
They look like pretty halos from nature and I'll be using them in future art soon! :D I'm so happy about these :)
I've had a few people already say they look like anusses, so please refrain from making that joke again, it gets old real fast :')
Thank you!

Ooh, I didn't know you could do that. Just one more reason why mushrooms are neat! These look really pretty, too. The bold, bright yellow against the black paper actually makes me think a little of fireworks or maybe the little halos you sometimes see drawn around candle flames. In any case, it's a really cool idea and these are really well done!
That's one thing I really like about the humble Mushroom, or most fungi for that matter. Each line in the print offers thousands of dormant spores when under the right conditions will germinate into thousands of amoeba like protists that break down everything they feed on. Then, by some yet to be deciphered means, these hungry little protists will stop what they're doing, and merge together to become the parts of the mushroom's final form.
Nature is Fascinatingly neat in many ways.
