After reading about
Kitty Shepherd's latest project, a mushroom pot, and remembering the
multitude of mushrooms I photographed in Florida, I decided to make a couple of mushroom cheese boards. These pieces are made from the very last of the white stoneware clay. I decided to make more cheese boards with mushroom sketches. This first is
Amanita muscari a colorful and psychoactive mushroom. Often in nature the color red denotes toxicity or a poison.
This cheese board illustrates
morel mushrooms, highly favored and prized by cooks and gourmet connoisseurs. I've only seen one morel in the wild when I lived near
Mount Lassen in California. Since there was only one, I left it there to reproduce. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
