A photo of an open black paper sketchbook, placed on a wooden desk and surrounded by a paint brush, paint tubs, coloured pencils, branches, leaves, flowers, and crystals. The sketchbook page features a painting of a tree with blue foliage, almost glowing teal at the rim. The trunk is separated in two at the basem forming a rounded hollow in which a few small glowing blue mushrooms shelter. The trunk refuses towards the top. At the base of the tree lush greenery surround the roots.

Fungi in the form of vertically-stacked wrinkly fan-shaped shelves, mostly peachy orange with pale edges, growing on thick, gnarled gray tree bark. A smattering of moss grows on the bark, and fallen oak leaves have collected at the base.

A mass of tiny fuzzy lumps protruding from a crack in the bark of a fallen log. A maple leaf sits flat against the log nearby.
