Inventory of {mushroom sack} Motif

Like Chris Bennett whines about evidence for mushroom imagery in Christian art, compared to evidence for cannabis:

It’s too hard! 😭😭

Too Many Mushrooms (So, No Mushrooms in Christian Art)

The top anything-but-drugs art historian, Erwin Panofsky, argues based on imagined-shared, silent presupposition & prejudice:

The Plaincourault fresco cannot mean mushrooms, because there are too many mushrooms in Christian art.

Not to mention other mushroom motifs:

  • mushroom roof topper
  • round mushroom vessel
  • cap pieces and stem pieces on table
  • etc.

Mainstream Artists’ Initiation Motif-Education Guild with Psilocybin {mushroom lockbox bins} and {balance scale}

Images of {balance scale} near mushroom lockbox bins & sacks of mushrooms, are the mainstream artists showing their initiation guild’s approach.

We have the receipts; artists communicated the evidence to us.

Perish the thought, “hidden”, I can’t stand that way of thinking, that self-defeating framing.

The goal of artists is to communicate, not to prevent communication.

Paul Lindgren Discovered the Hundreds of Mushroom Images in Great Canterbury Psalter, Around 1999

This page is dedicated to Paul Lindgren, who discovered and announced tons of mushrooms in Great Canterbury Psalter around 1999; he discussed with my collegauge James Arthur 2000, and then with Carl Ruck & Mark Hoffman 2001.

Dedicated to the pioneering Science explorer-discoverers Paul Lindgren 1999 & John Lash 2007.

The Discovery of a Lifetime

John Lash went out of his way around 2007, and uploaded Eadwine’s leg-hanging mushroom tree image in the Great Canterbury Psalter, which I re-found in Nov. 2020, to decode the medieval art genre of {mushroom-trees}.
