Premium Framed Print : Fly agaric fungi
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Fly agaric fungi
Fly agaric fungi (Amanita muscaria). The mycelium of the fly agaric fungus shares a symbiotic relationship with spruce, forming a mycorrhizal sheath around the roots of the tree. This is a mutualistic relationship, with the fungus helping its host to extract nutrients and water from the soil, in return for sugars via the plants photosynthesis. This fungus is hallucinogenic and poisonous. The genus Amanita is recognized by its swollen basal volva and the ring on its stem

23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of Fly agaric fungi (Amanita muscaria) in all its glory. The intricate details of this fungus are truly remarkable, but what makes it even more fascinating is its symbiotic relationship with spruce trees. The mycelium of the fly agaric fungus forms a mycorrhizal sheath around the roots of the tree, creating a mutually beneficial bond between them. In this unique partnership, the fungus aids its host by assisting in nutrient and water absorption from the soil while receiving sugars through photosynthesis. However, despite their harmonious alliance, one must approach these stunning organisms with caution as they possess both hallucinogenic and poisonous properties. This characteristic adds an element of intrigue to their already enchanting presence. Recognizable by its swollen basal volva and distinctive ring on its stem, Amanita muscaria belongs to the genus Amanita within Basidiomycetes - a group of fungi known for their diverse biological functions. This image not only highlights nature's wonders but also serves as a reminder that even seemingly delicate and beautiful elements can have hidden complexities beneath their surface. It invites us to appreciate the intricacies of biology and explore our understanding of mutualistic relationships in ecosystems worldwide.
