Destroying Angel (Amanita virosa)

"The Destroyong Angel, one of the most strikingly beautiful of our mushrooms, is usually found alone or in a small, scattered group, shining white against a green or brown backdrop.... Symptoms of poisoning by the Destroying Angel are like those of the deadly Death Cap (A. phalloides), and include vomiting, diarrhea, and cramps. Kidney and/or liver dysfunction follow and, without treatment, can result in death. Along with the deadly Death Cap, the destroying angels constitute the group of deadly amanitas." (National Audubon Society Field Guide to North Merican Mushrooms, pg. 551-552)

2018 vs. 2008(?). I still have a lot to learn, and I will always continue to change and grow, but I'm really proud of the progress I've made over the past decade.

Finally getting around to uploading this sketch. I began working on it during Inktober but procrastinated HARD. I got a little lazy by the time I did the lettering, and my page started to wrinkle (which, let’s face it, graph paper wasn’t meant for drawings like this) BUT I decided it was time to share it. I may eventually go back to this and scan/ink it, or something. I just don’t want to work on it anymore. 😅
