graveyard as to emphasize this theme. The mushroom are portrayed as “fingers” and “lifeless stalks of flesh” thus both being human and dead. Scenes, such as this one, conveys the feeling of despair that comes along with death because of the use of words like, “necrotic” which are decaying body cells that are painful.
