Wow, what a great collection! Upon clicking the preview, I was in no way prepared to see this many!
Gorgeous work, love the variety and how you kept the palette so tight-looking!
finally an useful and beautiful giude to learn the names of the mushrooms!
@ink: oh yeah i wasn't accusing you of pure photo study (not that there's anything wrong with that)! It's just funny to encounter a fellow fungus ref folder haver. Makes me wonder how many more there are out there
Wow, I love this so much. You handled each complex shape perfectly.
Thankfully no nasty flies on mine! I tried to just use the refs for understanding what the respective mushroom is about and tried to visually steer from them as far as possible so maybe we have a collection of different pictures of the same types.
nice texture work on the velvety schizophyllum. I think I have the same ref folder (are any of your pics covered in big nasty flies?)
Thanks, those two are my favorites as well- turned out the best and look coolest in real life I think ♥
schizophyllum commune looks fabulous! (and hydnellum peckii yummy)
the amanitas are perfection! and the ink cap... and shizophyllum... aaand stinkhorn
add me to the list of mushy ref folder havers!
