NATURE / Plants / Mushrooms
From those you can forage to the bizarre, this deck is an introduction to fifty of the hidden kingdom’s most interesting mushrooms.

Mushrooms have existed for millennia, which can make it overwhelming to dip into mycology. Used throughout human history for food, medicine, and expanding the consciousness, fungi have shaped the planet and the past, appearing everywhere from fairy tales and health food stores to The X-Files.

There’s an entire universe of fungi, much of which is yet to be discovered. To teach you about the basics, The Deck of Mushrooms features fifty types, including:

  • Ghost fungus
  • Spectacular rustgill
  • Sky-blue pinkgill
  • Trooping crumble cap
  • Pink oyster mushroom
  • Parrot waxcap
  • Jack-o’-Lantern
  • Wine-cap stopharia
  • Golden-scruffy collybia
  • And velvet foot

On each of these fifty beautifully illustrated cards, learn about a different fungi’s habitats, their uses, and their history to become an expert in mycology.



    PERFECT FOR: Gifting, mycology lovers, nature lovers, hikers, anyone caught up in the current “mush boom”, and deck collectors



    BEAUTIFUL ILLUSTRATIONS: Beautiful illustrations that draw from the beloved tradition of botanical art.

    UNIQUE: A unique offering in a market with a large appetite for decks.

    MUSHROOM TREND: There is currently a “mush boom” happening – from health stores to influencers to designers and beyond, mushrooms are everywhere you look and there’s an eager market.



    THE FUTURE IS MUSHROOM: There’s many burgeoning uses, from environmental cleanup to textiles.



    MUSHROOMS ARE AMAZING!: They offer an agricultural crop that’s much gentler on the planet – more important these days than ever.
