Poison Pie is a 2000 by Chris Drury, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows nature and people tangled together. Chris Drury made it in 2000 using ink on paper. The middle shows a mushroom spore print—spores drop overnight and leave ghostly rings. Thin lines around it aren’t random: they’re handwritten Latin names of fungi and facts about them. The shape mirrors the underside of a mushroom cap. Look up the artist Drury, Chris.
The print *Poison Pie* by Chris Drury features a central etching of a mushroom spore print, with handwritten text radiating outward to form the gill-like structure beneath a mushroom cap. The text lists Latin names of fungi along with details about their toxic effects on the human body. Executed as a gravure etching on black paper, the work explores the relationship between fungi and the human body.
