Shelf Mushroom- Honey cone

Shelf Mushroom- Honey cone

C$95.00Price

Original Artwork hand burned on a dried 'polypore mushroom'

Polypore mushrooms:

You may know them as "shelf mushrooms", "bracket fungus", "Artist Conks" or another common name.

These are naturally growing fungal bodies that are found on dead and decomposing trees. There are a few different species used, and they are all naturally and sustainably harvested by hand- by Jaydlyn- from her surrounding Kootenay area. Collecting these fruiting bodies does no harm to the organism or it's mycelium- that of which is actually a decomposer: so it will be actively breaking down any tree's it's found on.

The soft underside of these fruiting fungi when dry create a beautiful natural canvas for me to burn on, and they sit nicely on top of a shelf with no stands needed.

These are incredibly unique pieces that are truly one-of-a-kind; as the mushrooms themselves are incredibly unique in nature, as this is not a common art practice.  

 

The Deets:

This mushroom Canvas features a honeybee hovering over a coneflower. These flowers grow in grassy prairie-like areas, so I thought they'd like growing in my front yard ha- they did not. 

Did you know there are over 20K species of bee's worldwide? Canada is home to 800 of those. I've always just called these honey bee's but I'm realizing they probably have a lot more of a specific name than that. I hope to expand my knowledge in the area of bee's.

 

The mushroom used as a canvas is A "Red-belted conk" or 'Fomitopsis mounceae'.

 

These polypore mushrooms actually have a little natural border along the outer edge, it's usually about half a cm or less thick, and a different texture than the inner fleshy parts: firmer and more pronounced- I try to leave these borders natural, as I think it adds to the uniqueness of how that mushroom in particular decided to grow. So the inconsistency you see in the border is actually the mushrooms natural border.
