Definitely. I didn't even know ambergris was a thing outside the book. Gross word, ok book tho. I wish there would a been more about the mushroom-people cult. And this painting definitely gives me mushroom-people vibes.
It’s also a really gross substance! Gross all around. Apparently very important and expensive, but gross.
