NFrisch - Meaning 1.1

Representation

This is a technical illustration of mushroom, Psilocybe graveolens. This illustration is not meant to be artistic at all, however it is supposed to be clear and realistic enough to assist in identification of this specific species of fungi. The drawing presents three different versions of this mushroom, each with its own slightly unique posture. It is possible that each of these three instances represent various maturities of the mushroom through the life of its fruiting cycle. There is again, little personal interpretation of the visual information that is represented here, and it approaches the accuracy of a photograph, but has simplified the pertinent information by omitting unnecessary details that could easily be described in text, like colorings, size, texture, and others.
