My handmade mushroom paper works show new possibilities of paper making, they consist of almost 100% mushrooms and are therefore a “compostable or sustainable art”, which can be returned to nature or the forest.
For this I have made a test, with a paper what I had presented to the Utopia exhibition

again 2 weeks later, now pink mushrooms are already visible, which make themselves to the paper:
