Fungi: The World of Mushrooms explores the role of mushrooms and fungi in visual culture through more than 200 images. With millions of species worldwide, fungi are among the Earth's most diverse organisms. Throughout history, they have inspired everything from spirituality, art, and popular culture to design, fashion, and film.
This richly illustrated book celebrates the significance of fungi in visual culture. Here, you will find more than 200 full-page images arranged in surprising and inspiring encounters between art, design, and history. A pre-Columbian gold ornament sits side by side with a table lamp from Tiffany Studios, a scarf from Hermès meets a 16th-century botanical illustration, and a painting by Yayoi Kusama is placed in dialogue with a figure of the Nintendo character Toad.
Works by artists such as Marc Chagall, Hilma af Klint, Andy Warhol, and Takashi Murakami are presented alongside Roman frescoes, drawings by pioneers of mycology, classic children’s books, iconic films, and historical ceramics.
Together, the images demonstrate how, over the centuries, fungi have sparked curiosity, fascination, and creativity in people all over the world.
