A close up of the T-shirt image taken or modeled by Gary Lincoff. I'll have to find out.

Five precious Tibetan mushrooms surround a Stupa or Chörten, the Buddhist symbol of the enlightened mind. The Tibetan script above reads:

Pöke Shamo Rinpoche (Bod-kyi Sha-Mo Rin-po-che) and means literally "Tibet's mushroom precious"

Design: MushRoaming - Daniel Winkler

I used my own photos from the field to design this graphic.

The T-shirts are pre-shrunk Anvil brand - 6.1 oz 100% cotton.

Here some detailed information

Scientific Name Common Tibetan Literal Meaning

Morchella sp. Morel Khukhu Shamo Cuckoo mushroom

Tricholoma matsutake Matsutake Beshing Shamo Oak mushroom

Cantharellus cibarius Chanterelle Sese Shamo Yellow mushroom

Cordyceps sinensis Caterpillar fungus Yartsa gunbu Summer grass winter worm

Boletus edulis* King bolete Bole Shamo Fat Mushroom

* The king bolete is too yellow here, got jaundiced in the silk screen process.

Please note that the local mushroom names in Tibet often vary strongly from region to region or even valley to valley. However, due to the economic importance of Caterpillar fungus, Morels and Matsutake a common Tibetan name has been established in recent years. For boletes and chanterelles this has not happened to this degree and I used names common in Kongpo.

All shirts have a backside now (shown in red and green halves):
