For the #InternationalMushroomDay, my hand-carved lino block reduction print of a clump of poisonous, Eastern jack-o-lantern mushrooms (Omphalotus illudens) on a decaying hardwood tree stump. The gills of these North American mushrooms are bioluminescent and glow green. My print has a layer of glow-in-the-dark ink so it too glows! 🧵1/2

For the #SciArtSeptember prompt rot, my hand-carved lino block reduction print of a clump of poisonous, Eastern jack-o-lantern mushrooms (Omphalotus illudens) on a decaying hardwood tree stump. The gills of these North American mushrooms are bioluminescent and glow green. My print has a layer of glow-in-the-dark ink so it too glows! The glow is believed to attract nocturnal insects 🧵1/
