The Mushroom Tarot Deck Kit

Tarot deck based on the Rider Waite Coleman-Smith system that and thoughtfully pairs each card in the Major Arcana with a mushroom species based either on morphology or experiential interactions Chris has had with the chosen mushroom. Similarly, the Minor Arcana are paired with a genus of Mushrooms that either fits the physical form of the group––Pentacles for Stars and Cup Fungus for Cups––or feels like the energetic equivalent in the mycological kindom––Wands are Cordyceps (and relatives) and Swords are Psilocybe.

Chris is an avid forager and amateur mycological enthusiast, and he has seen many of the mushrooms he drew & described for this deck in the real world. His work for this project, and his other collections at Corvidopolis & Sporelust!, attempts a fusion of the popular culture influences in his life––punk rock, cartoons, 60s counterculture art, scientific illustration––and a 'flexible' scientific accuracy to respect the organisms he is recreating with pen, ink and squeegee.
