Any ideas where to find some really nice mushroom art for a tattoo sleeve? (Updated. I got it!)

Good evening everyone. I am in the middle of designing my tattoo sleeve and thought it would be a nice addition to add a wicked looking picture of a mushroom. I've been searching on the net and just haven't been able to find what I'm looking for.
I would like to find some mushroom art that is symbolic of psilocybin mushrooms but doesn't scream paraphernalia to the lay person. Any help you guys and gals could offer would be greatly appreciated. Just FYI, the majority of my sleeve will be black and gray work with lots of skulls, flames, and evil looking shit. If you folks can think of any ideas to incorporate a mushroom into this scheme, perhaps an evil looking mushroom, I would be in your debt forever.
Thanks for reading. 
Update:
I really appreciate all the feedback I received from everyone. Well, I handed my tattoo artist a bunch of drawings and real life photos and he went to town. Here is what I have after today's sitting:






So what do you guys think so far. I still have to add some color at the next sitting, but I think the tattoo makes a great addition to my sleeve design.

Wow, that sounds a lot like the sleeve I'm working on.
Those are tiny mushrooms sprouting out at the bottom of my wrist, though you can't really make them out in this picture.

Keep 'em coming. I kind of like the Mushroom King photo. Love those toadstool monsters from Mom and Dad Saved the World.

I like that very much. The flames are a nice touch. I guess my sleeve would be along those lines.

I can draw mushrooms are you interested in the real life looking mushrooms or a more stylized version of the real thing.

I guess I'm looking for a real life look with a bit of a new age twist. Not sure if that makes sense or not. I want the profile of a cube but with some meat and rustic look about them. I'm trying to describe my image in my head but I'm coming up short on the translation.
