April Showers bring May... MUSHROOMS!

I'm happy to post an older set of illustrations. I drew these mushrooms right after a foray in Monterey last May. Both are edible boletes; left, a Zeller's bolete (Boletus zelleri) and right, a porcini (Boletus edulis). For about two months after picking these, I tried convincing friends that I could identify edible mushrooms. Not as easy as it seems, though... to convince people to eat wild harvested mushrooms!

I was inspired to post after visiting the mini comic con at the Eagle Rock Center for the Arts yesterday. Good times!
