Hi! Tomorrow, I'll try screen printing for the first time, and I was told to prepare a not-too-detailed drawing... so I made this one, and thought the fungi and mushroom fans among you might enjoy it as well. :D Have a happy Thursday, especially if you like mushrooms and fungi! (Also, sort of excited about how this one will turn out tomorrow)

Obvs not sponsored lol, I just noticed I was drinking my mushroom drink while studying this field guide. ‘Mushrooms of the upper Midwest,’ excellent guide btw. I opened the book to page 222 because of the number on the can. I will be looking for this Oak Maze Gill this season! Stay turned to see if I capture a shot ❤️🍄✨
