FAQ

Is all the work custom or handmade?

All paintings, artwork, and carvings are created by Leonardo Crespo. Every piece is one of a kind and unique.
Are the materials used sustainable and ethically sourced?

All carved pieces are ethically sourced from deadfall trees from backyard woods. All dried mushrooms are picked from private property with permission from land owners. The majority of the art frames are antiques purchased or given to the artist, all other frames are hand made from reclaimed palette wood.
Can I request custom-made pieces?

Absolutely! We welcome custom orders. Contact the artist directly through our platform to discuss your ideas, preferences, and any specific requirements for a bespoke creation. Please note, all pieces take time to work, some may take longer than others.
How can I become a featured artist on your platform?

Unfortunately, we are not taking in any other work from other artists at the moment.
Does mushroom picking hurt the mycelium?

Picking mushrooms does not affect the future of the number of fruiting bodies of the mycelium. Over picking is not bad for the mushrooms. Harvesting a mushroom patch doesn't harm the health of the underlying mycelium and future generations of that mushroom, but it is still courteous and considerate to leave mushrooms behind for another picker. Picking or cutting mushrooms makes no difference to the mycelium. The mushroom itself is the fruit of the tree (mycelium), they will fruit again and again.
Do you sell magic mushrooms or paraphernalia?

We do not sell magic mushrooms (Psilocybin mushroom) or drug paraphernalia.
