This letterpress print from Susan Porteous—artist and printer behind Green Bird Press in Bend, Oregon—celebrates the strange and wonderful world of mushrooms. Printed by hand on a vintage press, each fungus is illustrated with clean lines and soft layers of color that build into a gentle, earthy palette. From edible favorites like chanterelle and morel to the iconic (and highly toxic) death cap, each mushroom is labeled and carefully printed using handset metal type and multiple passes through the press. The result is a modern botanical study with a tactile impression you can feel, perfect for nature lovers, foragers, and anyone who appreciates slow, thoughtful craft.
