julianplum:

A gouache painting of bright jack-o-lantern mushrooms, painted in orange and yellow, glowing sculpturally against a dark night sky. Their bright yellow gills give off light, attracting dozens of insects from dark beetles to flies to slugs and ants. They grow in a cluster from a pile of dead leaves, sparkling with light.ALT
