Mushrooms have been fascinating artists for centuries, and Moritz Schmid came up with a creative way to put them in the spotlight. This German artist is crafting elaborate displays that will change the way you look at mushrooms and inspire you to learn more about them.
Moritz grew up surrounded by nature and developed a fondness for mushrooms during his childhood years. They became more than a hobby for this artist, who gained advanced knowledge about the world of fungi by becoming a mushroom coach at the German Society for Mycology and a certified course instructor at the German Academy for Forest Bathing and Health.
He enjoys immersing himself in the fascinating world of mushrooms and getting inspired by the magic of the forest almost every day. They’re the driving force behind his fascinating works of art, made with a wide variety of mushrooms of different species, arranged in perfect harmony to create something breathtaking.
In addition to sharing his art with 50,000 Instagram followers, Schmid also hosts workshops and retreats in his local area near Berlin. He hopes his body of work will infect people with his “enthusiasm for mushrooms and create a space where you can experience nature in a whole new way.”
