Photos of Fantastical Mushrooms, to Identify Fantastical Mushrooms in Christian Art
When mystics are looking for Cubensis and Liberty Caps, and the prized-for-looks Amanita, here is also what they find, and what they draw in illuminated manuscripts.
My productive period decoding {non-branching} mythemes around 2010-2011 was while walking paths in a seasonal mushroom patch 1-square-block natural preserve, looking at the branching paths, branching trees, and annually changing collection of mushrooms, and photographing them.
I photographed groups of hundreds of manna-balls; shaggies, orange plastic curls, hundreds of little spears — maybe 20 different types of fungi, in a 1-block forest patch.
A common art pattern is to start by drawing a Cubensis cluster mushroom tree, with branching added and some non-branching added, and then for each cap, for every cap, vary the filling-in of the cap, to represent a particular, fantastical looking mushroom type, or a fictitious fanatical mushroom type.
