  • Looking for a giant coloring poster

    My grandmother, before she died, had a giant poster on her wall. It was probably close to 5' tall and was the kind you can color in with markers or colored pencils. I really don't remember much about it except that it was taller than it was long and I'm about 90% sure it had giant mushrooms at the bottom, the kind with spots that you see in both fantasy-type posters and psychedelic stuff. It was really detailed and didn't look like the kind of thing that kids would have the patience for.

    When I asked my mom about it, she told me that she had found them once at Hobby Lobby, and she had even had the exact same poster that she kept rolled up in a giant tube in a closet (I remembered the poster in the tube when she mentioned it but never knew it was the same one).

    My best google-fu can't find this, and I really want to see about getting one to remember my grandmother by. Hopefully someone here knows the poster I'm talking about and can help me out a bit?
    The fact that jellyfish have survived for 650 million years despite not having brains gives hope to many people.

      Red mushrooms with white spots? Amanita mushrooms...which, IIRC, were the inspiration for the shrooms in Super Mario Bros. Would explain a whole lot o_O;>

        That's the right idea, and about the right amount of detail.

        Well, IIRC my grandmother had them colored in as a kind of burnt orange with white spots, but yeah.
