I couldn’t post every individual photo, but I’m happy to reply in the comments with individual photos of the cards with their tarot correspondence if anyone wants a closer look! 

The deck is The Mushroom Spotter’s Deck by Megan Lynn Kott, compared with the classic Rider-Waite Smith deck. 

They were chosen with a mixture of mycology knowledge and facts about each mushroom, connecting symbolism, and vibes/energy in mind. I found that the new deck really took on a life of its own - each card retained some of the symbolism of the original card, but often shifted the perspective or honed in on certain elements while relinquishing others. The Lovers, Justice, The Devil, and Death are cards that were especially changed and took on their own meanings in a really interesting way. 

I also added six new cards that do not exist in the Tarot, which are not pictured in the photo - they are The Healer, The Storyteller, Passion, The Lotus Eater, The Vision, and The Ego. Some of these were added to being back in elements of the Tarot that I felt were lost in translation with some of the cards, and others are aspects of the spiritual journey that I felt were beautifully portrayed by the mushrooms that represent them and that I feel the Tarot may not illustrate as clearly. This deck is ultimately Tarot based, but comes from a whole world of its own and has its own perspective. I really feel the influence shift as it takes on the perspective of these various mushrooms, and nature’s messages really shine through very clearly. 

Happy to answer any questions about why I chose what I did, what the connections are, etc! Very excited to use this deck; my spiritual practice and my life’s journey and purpose are all completely centered in nature, it’s my teacher and my home and my source - and I feel like I connect with nature’s wisdom in a deck much more than the traditional Tarot. 



I’m a huge mycology nerd and nature is a big part of my spirituality - I have a 78 card mushroom deck, and aligned cards from it with the Major Arcana to use as a deck of its own that draws on symbolism and archetypes of the Tarot
