This is a reproduction of a vintage scientific illustration of Claviceps purpurea — ergot fungus. The plate comes from an old mycology atlas and shows different stages and structural details of the fungus: parts of the host plant, spore forms, and small schematic diagrams.
Ergot is one of the most legendary fungi in European history. In the Middle Ages it was linked to mass grain poisonings and strange outbreaks known as “St. Anthony’s fire” or “St. Vitus’ dance”. In folklore ergot is sometimes called a “witches’ fungus,” believed to be connected with visions, fear, and waves of collective hysteria. 
This poster looks great as wall decor, or interiors in a dark academia / apothecary / witchcore style. A unique gift for lovers of mycology, vintage science, and dark botanical art.
