THE MUSHROOM HUNTER'S ARCANUM

They are everywhere, connected underground and carrying an ancient memory. This original (and playful) work by Joe Buckley, from The Fungi Arcana, is a tribute to the world of mushrooms, elegantly woven into the classical iconography of tarot. Each of the 78 cards in this deck is linked to a unique member of the living fungal kingdom. The result is a “mycological” exploration that blends art with careful observation of nature.

Browse the 100-page guidebook included in the box, featuring both common and scientific names of all the species represented, and dive even deeper into the mystery behind The Mushroom Hunter’s Arcanum. Inspired by the classic structure of the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot, this deck is accessible even to those exploring tarot for the first time, offering a meaningful experience that brings together study, play, and symbolic connection to the natural world.

Illustrator, but also a writer and observer of nature. Joe Buckley, from The Fungi Arcana, currently based in Bellingham, Washington, is the kind of artist who prefers to let his work speak for itself, without embellishment.
