PSMS Mushroom Show

I don't see a post for Seattle's "Puget Sound Mycological Society" annual mushroom show that just ended. It ran today and yesterday and featured some of the coolest mushrooms on display I've ever seen. If anyone snapped some photos at the event or bought some souvenirs, post a pic!
One of many tables. Here are some Amanitas...

My friend behind the "Horse Mushroom". Absolutely huge...

Children dwarfed by the immense size of these King Boletes.

And lastly... my new favorite shirt...

I'd have visited, but holding that thing on the two days where there was a Huskies/Ducks and a Seahawks game wasn't exactly conductive to me driving into town.

There wasn't really any football traffic that I encountered.
I was so blown away by the show. There were vendors selling awesome stuff. Paul Stamets' company had a ton of stuff for sale. I bought some natural chocolate bars infused with cordyceps. I hope it doesn't take over my brain! I'll snap a pic. I also picked up some stickers that comprise his logo. I got a DVD, a David Arora book, a Morel magnet and a couple greeting cards with amazing illustrations from the artist (who was smoking hot! )
There were thousands of mushrooms on display. I couldn't believe the size of many. I thought I was a badass when I found a purple Boletus mirabilis. Well they have about 7 on display. They had a GIGANTIC lobster mushroom that probably swallowed a massive Russula brevipes. They had some stinkhorns I'd never seen before. They had entire tables of jelly/slime fungi. A table of boletes. And so on...
The haul (minus the shirt)

Greeting card

Paul Stamets candy bar. Check out those ingredients!

I didnt even know shit like this exists! Is there a show in the east? The cordyceps bar looks to be a try! @FoxDie was that hot artist a blonde haired chick? I seen an artist who was a cite blonde drawing mushrooms on the net she had like a glamor shot next to her art. I was like Daaannngggg!
Ive seen the edibles from weed in CO that blew my mind! A mushroom bar. Lol cool let me know how it tastes and its benefits or effects
Ive seen pictures from europe with vendors selling all types of fresh mushrooms before. Fresh snapping turtles half dead on the tanle and guts and spare parts markets!

Glad you guys dig the shirt! I thought it was pretty rad that the illustration is in the style of an old field-guide illustration (and might actually be). Couple that with it being a 3/4 sleeve 2-color shirt and you've got all the makings of a retro shirt!
The candy bar is good. I ate the blueberry one. The Goji I'm sending to an artist friend who actually released a book of psychedelic mushroom illustrations. He turned me onto Paul Stamets a couple years back.
I wouldn't be surprised if there was a mushroom exhibit in the northeast. John Cage (musician) heads up the NYC mycological society from what I've been told. So there's got to be something organized to take part in.
Yeah, the Amanita table was insane. Not sure if you can really see but there's a Pantherina that's pretty dark brown and it's VERY fat... very bulbous.
And no... the chick wasn't blonde. She had long brown hair and exotic features. Sooo dreamy

It's actually what put me on the pursuit of mushrooms (and not just psychedelic). It has 2 great intros; one by Erik Davis and another by Daniel Pinchbeck. Gary Lincoff was a consultant/contributor mostly with brief introductions to different genus every 10 pages or so.
It's meant to be a sort of celebration/exploration of mushrooms, not a literal field guide. I've got a piece of his original art that I'll post too. I'll see if I can snap a pic quick.
