Peter Handke found this fossil on a beach on a walk with his wife. It is a prehistoric species of octopus – an orthoceras – which resembles octopuses of the Nautilus genus living today.
Peter Handke donated the mushroom prints and the fossil to the Nobel Prize Museum in 2019.
These mushroom prints are mementos of a couple of Peter Handke’s favourite walks. On his walks, Handke enjoys picking mushrooms that he presses between the pages of his notebooks. He made these “mushroom prints” on separate papers and signed them.
