 Mostly Mushrooms

I love to paint just about anything and after many hikes I decided to direct my attention to the variety of mushrooms along my treks. The more I studied and tried to identify each fungi the more humbled I became with every detail I painted.
I’m still not 100 percent sure of each species I rendered so feel free to come and correct my labels with provided post-its.
