IMAGE CREDITS & PROVENANCE

Every image has a story. Our giant mushroom and natural-wonders illustrations belong to the playful La Fortuna world we created; documentary fungi lead back to the photographers who found them.

A simple promise: every documentary photograph links to its creator, original file and licence. The 53-photo Costa Rica wall is cached locally for a quick gallery, while global Psilocybe cubensis references remain clearly separate from photographs whose source establishes a Costa Rican locality.
