Mushrooms of New York (July thru October 2023)
Fungi Kingdom
While my original plan was to complete one fungi kingdom painting, nature had other plans. Halfway through the summer, I ran out of space on my page, but there were still so many magnificent mushrooms growing all around me! I was delighted to add another fungi family portrait to the set.
If you go foraging for mushrooms, please remember – SAFETY FIRST! Here’s what you need to know before, during, and after foraging. Consult field guides to identify mushrooms and DO NOT pick potentially poisonous specimens!
If you want to learn to draw a mushroom, join us for this Marvelous Mushrooms Zoom Workshop, starting September 29, 2024. Don’t worry if you miss it live – you can still purchase the recordings.

My goal with this series of Plant Family Portraits is to deepen people’s awareness of plants and gain an understanding of plant details. An appreciation for biodiversity is an important part of our wellbeing. May we all delight in nature’s fascinating architecture and colors, appreciate our environment, and how precious it is to protect.
