David Robinson, co-founder of Sporeboys, a mushroom
street-food kitchen which tours food markets in London
and events across the UK, came up with the idea of
illustrating children’s books with fungi images. Using the
fungi to create meticulously assembled luminograms, Penny
Bun Helps Save the World, a tale of a group of mushrooms
and their attempt to save their forest home, is illustrated
with images created by arranging mushroom sculptures on
the plate of an enlarger on photographic paper, and
exposing them to different light intensities. Each exposure
produces a one of a kind print, shaped by the interplay of
light and the natural colour and texture of the mushrooms.
