Walk deep into the forest. Pick up a mushroom and peer under its cap. What will you find? 

The Mushroom Oracle Deck guides mycelial thinking about the past, present, and future through 44 cards and an accompanying booklet representing mushrooms, the forest, mushroom people, and fungal structures—and the multitudes, layers, and connections each contains. Consult the Mushroom Oracle by pulling a card at new beginnings, forks in the path, closings, and seasonal transitions. The reader is encouraged to consider their connections to others, their environment, and themselves.

With original collages made from vintage botanical illustrations by artist Bethany van Rijswijk.

The Mushroom Oracle is absolute high art. Every single one of these cards is beautiful. The structure of this oracle deck was more detailed than I had expected, with four "suits" that give additional nuance to the meanings. The card stock is excellent, everything about this deck is of the highest quality. I'm not very knowledgable about mushrooms, but you don't need to be to appreciate and understand these images. These cards read well by themselves, or alongside Tarot. But mostly, for the artwork alone, these cards are incredible - you could leave them out on your coffee table instead of a coffee table book, for sheer beauty and also as a conversation starter.
