If you’re a fungiphile, this poster was MADE for YOU! I had so much fun hiking and finding the 30 species of mushrooms displayed on this poster. Master Mycologist and author of Mushrooms of the Redwood Coast, Christian Schwarz, helped ensure scientific accuracy and vetted my identifications on this poster (thanks, Christian!).

Poster Caption:
These illustrations are excerpts from the artist’s field notebook, which she brings along on hikes to document the amazing diversity of life that can be found in one’s neighborhood, open spaces, and forests. The mushrooms pictured above were found in the Monterey Bay Area, California and represent the actual size of each specimen. Each species is represented by a drawing of a single fruiting body, therefore intraspecific variation is not necessarily shown. Though the purpose of this poster is to highlight the diversity of mushroom morphology and coloration, *denotes edible species, while **denotes highly prized edible species.

The lands on which these mushrooms were found make up the unceded territories of the Awaswas, Mutsun, and Rumsen-speaking nations. These groups are represented in the present day by the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band and the Costanoan Rumsen Carmel Tribe.
