Okay This Ones Going On Main For Sure Because WOW THIS IS SO COOL!!! AHHH!!!!!

Okay this one’s going on main for sure because WOW THIS IS SO COOL!!! AHHH!!!!!

You did so much work for this oh my god I’m so impressed!! This is actually so cool I love these designs so much!!!! Even the stats and everything that’s amazing!!! The way you used the bleeding tooth mushroom’s bitter taste as a personality trait, the way pompom’s white fades into brown just like in the lion’s mane when they age!!! (I want him to hug me right now she looks so huggable ahhh!!!) (I am short circuiting sorry I’m just so excited with all the work you did lol)

(And I do get the strawberries and cream joke! I find it funny that the two most common names for this mushroom are “bleeding tooth” and “strawberries and cream”. Getting very different vibes there lol)

AHHHH thank you for doing so much work I love this so much!!!!!

so...here's my part for scugshroom colony because i think it's a very fun designing challenge

@mushroominaforest i hope you won't bite me for this

THOSE are my small notes i made to simplify information i saw as important. fungi i chose are lion's mane(Hericium erinaceus) and blood tooth(Hydnellum peckii), they looked cool and i went okay. okay.

this is the Empath, or Pompom. (she/he/they/it) she's VERY big and VERY fluffy. she has a very sweet and caring personality, while holding strange fascination with cycle of death and rebirth and, weirdly enough, interest in the Rot, despite being as terrified of it as others. as his name suggests he's very empathetic and is usually first to help, he's that one responsible adult who helps kids who are afraid of doctors face their fears (haha not that im that kid...). (and yes i am implying that he frequently helps slugcats figure out when they need help and how to get it. trust me that sentence makes sense. actually, read this as 'he's basically like calypso from bluey', that's the vibe.)

she's also secretly a gourmenot child but no-one's supposed to know that /hj

this...is...strawberry and cream duo...(get it...bc strawberries and cream...)

slugcat is the Colorist, or Cream. (she/they/it) they are not yet past their puphood, so they're small (but they won't grow much because ummm i decided so). their natural appearance tends to scare some off, especially their small blood-looking spot on their lower jaw, which gives them a vampire look. she's very bitter and can come off as snappy, but it's mostly because she's been rather lonely most of her life! she found a companion in Strawberry, or the Courageous One. (he/it) Colorist is the one who patched up his wound from another lizard, and the one who made his cape as a sign of friendship. they formed a rather symbiotic relationship in which they, both seen as weaklings or outcasts in their homeland, help each other be stronger.

they're basically double trouble lol

the Colorist has incredible interest in fabric and likes making useful and fashionable items like bags or simple scarfs. they usually tend to isolate themself from others but it doesn't mean they don't see themself as a part of a collective, they're just used to not being well-liked. i can see Strawberry trying to make her interact with others more while she's just being all grumpy but still goes along with it haha.

this was a lot of fun i love thinking about how to convert facts into character traits soooooo yeah that was very fun :)

hi you made me remember I liked mushrooms cuz they're so cool so I made a scug out of it

Yoooo this sluggo is so cool!!! I love them!!!!! Do they have a name?

(I should make a mushroom scug oc >:3)

CHAT

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

SECOND SLUGSHROOM LETS GO!!!

This time I did the blue chanterelle!

blue chanterelles are edible, but not considered choice. (Not liked as much as other mushrooms). They are more often used for dyeing fabric, and are known for their antitumour properties- they can help treat stomach cancer!!!

Their texture is either soft or brittle- they aren’t very strong, so my scugshroom isn’t either! Because blue chanterelles can have a coloration of black to blue, that made me think of the phrase “black and blue” in a reference to having bruises or being beaten up, so my poor little scugshroom has a black eye. They’re not the happiest scugshroom, since blue often means sadness.

They like to knit, (since blue chanterelles are often used to dye yarn) and sew, and they help out my turkey tail scugshroom with their medical work sometimes! and they’re probably about a teenager in age.

We need to get one of @t00nyah’s scugshrooms, Pompom the therapist to come and cheer them up lol

100%!!! Anyone can join! The more the merrier! :D

Hi people!!!

@thunder-wolf64 has come up with a brilliant idea:

(Ooo that is a cool scug. I have an idea >:3 What if a bunch of us made mushroom/fungi based scugs and they all lived together in a colony? I think that would be neat. we could put them all together in a hashtag or something)

(Also inspired by the mushroom scug ocs of @confituredekaki and @saffronstoats!)

I obviously love their idea, because it’s mushroom related, so it’s mushroom scug time everybody!!!!! Make a slugcat inspired by a mushroom or other fungi, and tag your art #scugshroom colony! :D

When designing your mushroom-inspired Slugcat, don’t just look at the colour of your mushroom, also consider things like size and shape:

Weird quirks: (like this bolete mushroom that bruises blue!)

Families and relationships: (like the deadly duo, two closely related and very dangerous amanita mushrooms!)

And other advantageous traits: (like bioluminescence or toxins!)

Don’t forget to have fun with it! It doesn’t have to be perfectly scientifically accurate, be creative! If you do the angel wings mushroom, you can give your scug wings! Pick a mushroom that’s used for dying fabric? They can be a textile worker! The possibilities are endless!

ALRIGHT CHAT my mom will be home in like 10 minutes so I will no longer be home alone I survived the 5-ish days of being abandoned lmao

I don’t like being alone

I was supposed to sleepover at my friend’s house tonight but they cancelled, and I can’t even find my cat because he’s outside somewhere and it’s dark now. I’m completely alone in my house and I hate it I hate it so much. I should be used to this by now but I’m not. I don’t want to be alone I need somebody to come and tell me it’s gonna be okay I need someone to be there for me but I’m alone
