A lively toad (gama) with inlaid eyes is climbing on one of the mushrooms, which are lying upside down. Its hind legs are spread out wide while the front legs are clinging to the stem. Both mushrooms are shimeji with bulbous stems, their radial gills deeply incised. The underside smooth and beautifully stained, with the himotoshi and signature YOSHIKAZU.
