 Below is the rough for my mushroom spread as part of the woodland habitat section of the book. I was excited to create the artwork for this spread as mushrooms are my favourite things to draw. The idea for this piece was to zoom in on the forest floor to show lots of different mushrooms that grow there

I researched lots of different mushroom types in various fungi field guides that I own.

Here is an image of some of the collage work I did for this spread

This is the final outcome for this spread. I really like it over all and think that there is a good contrast in tones and the colour pallet works nicely in fitting with the woodland theme. I used slightly darker muted tones for this spread as I wanted it to feel a little autumnal as that's when it is mushroom season.

Below is the amended version of the piece where I decided to remove the reddish mushroom at the back and darken parts of the mushrooms on the bottom right to make them standout more.
