This is the third in a series of linocuts of the Velvet Shank mushroom, based on a line drawing that I made of one growing on a tree trunk in Longton Park in Stoke-on-Trent, during the winter. They grow, like most fungi, on decaying wood, and although it's sad to see them growing on a tree that's still just about in leaf, it's quite spectacular a year on when a huge bloom of the fungi erupt all over the now dead tree's trunk. I was fascinated by the lines, both the outlines of the shapes and the gills, so I chose to use a line drawing in a more illustrative style, and to give myself a challenge in cutting the fines lines out of lino.
