My Best Attempt At Making A Scushroom

My best attempt at making a scushroom

They are a mycena lux-coeli

I think they'd be used as like a sort of living lamp for dark nights or expeditions

They have a little lantern thing on their head cause in japenese they're called "Castanopsis tree’s lantern mushroom"

They have chinquapins on their tails cause they grow on chinquapin trees during rainy seasons

They need to be around water most of the time or else they will dehydrate

Sorrgy if i got anything wrong my adhd keeps me from reading infodumps without getting distracted every other second😔😔

I love them!!! They’re so cute!!! I love the details like the chinquapins on their tail and the little lantern! It’s super cool!

CALLING ALL FOLLOWERS this thing seems cool so far you guys should all go look at it >:3

(I know I’m immature but this is so funny to me so I’m sharing it with you all)

A scugshroom creation guide in case anyone has no idea what they’re doing!

Pick your mushroom! For my example, I’m going to use the turkey tail fungus.

Find reference photos! (I’d use multiple, as the fruiting bodies of one species will often look a bit different from each other.)

Find facts about your mushroom, and use those to determine some traits for your scugshroom!

-For example, the turkey tail fungi is often used for medicinal purposes! Because of that, my scugshroom will be a healer.

-Since I chose a polypore/shelf fungus (it has no stem and no cap), finding out the body type of my scugshroom was a little harder. But, looking at the scientific name of the turkey tail- Trametes versicolor, I found my answer!  Trametes versicolor literally translates to “one who is thin” and “varying in colour”. So they’ll be thin! However, I also want them to look strong, because the turkey tail cannot be eaten raw due to how tough it is- you can’t chew it. 

-Turkey tails are also covered in hairs, described as having a velvety or silky texture, so I’ll give my scugshroom fur!

4. Draw your scugshroom!

Here’s my first (I will probably do lots lol) scugshroom, inspired by the turkey tail fungus! Their role in the colony is a healer :)

It’s a little rushed lol, but I had fun! I hope this can help anyone who’s confused/lost! :D

tw: trypophobia!

scugshroom, based on the common puffball mushroom! the eye scar is due to a few alternate names such as "no-eyes" due to beliefs that their spores cause blindness.

i also based them off the sea bunny!

while the younger white puffballs are not poisonous, the older yellow/brown ones are. I decided to make them a poisonous one to match the sea bunny

due to them being the poisonous version, the puffball [ they get a silly name due to their mushroom's name :3 ] is a trapper for the mushroom scug colony!

AAAAHHHH I LOVE THEM

dude they’re so cute I can’t
