Wild Mushroom Watercolor

Hi,Well I took another bike ride today. This time I spotted a gold mushroom. It's actually the same kind as the red, but it is metallic gold. Both are hallucinogenic and can be poisonous if eaten. The name is amanita muscaria.   I did bring the gold one home and incorporated it into the little watercolor with an oak leaf and and some acorns.I enjoyed painting them..

Talk to you soon,Diana

Poisonous Wild Mushrooms

This morning I went for a bike ride. I knew with all the rain mushrooms would be springing up everywhere. I took my plastic bag to bring some home, to paint of course. I found these amazing yellow ones with red on top-- I just looked them up they may be amanita muscaria which are poisonous and hallucinogenic
.Oh boy.. I've been handling them and rearranging them.. ah.. well I just put them in the painting and have buried them in the backyard. Wait a minute --did I just plant them. oh my.. ha ha.. Well this painting should have a story if I don't keel over in the middle of it. Just kidding. I guess I'd better look up the rest of the mushrooms. Be careful out there!! talk to you soon,Diana
