A humorous depiction with precisely executed details. A gigantic shimeji mushroom with a smooth top and deeply incised radial gills as well the characteristic bulbous stem. A small monkey, not even half the mushroom cap’s size is carrying it– apparently, he has developed a taste for it, as he seems very happy with his find, as he is running off, not overwhelmed by the size and weight at all. Large and good himotoshi in the recessed smooth top of the cap.
