I Made Another Scugshroom, Based Off Of A Mushroom Native To New Zealand (Where I'm From :D)

I made another scugshroom, based off of a mushroom native to New Zealand (Where I'm from :D)

Anyway they got mauled by a lizard or something and that's how they got the scars.

Werewere kōkako mushrooms are a mystery when it comes to their blue pigment. Scientists are trying to find out how the mushrooms are so extremely blue but with little luck.

People also don't fully know if the mushrooms are toxic or not.

So this scugshroom is relatively withdrawn and mysterious.

As werewere kōkako mushrooms are being studied in hopes of making all-natural blue food colouring, this scug is considering helping out with cooking - mostly making the dishes look nice.

Werewere kōkako mushrooms also don't really have any uses at the moment, so the scug hasn't contributed much yet.

IM OBSESSED WITH THEM

they’re adorable!!! Blue!!!

SLAM

hi hello mushroom im here to bring back my first ask ....

what kinda mushroom do you think i would be🥺.....👉👈

For you, I have chosen the Woolly inky cap, Coprinopsis logopus, a lesser-known but still very cool inky mushroom!

As they deliquesce (melt) they sometimes will become ink, but most of the time they form these cool looking lines along their cap, which makes me think of your art, because a lot of your posting is pretty lineart of characters!

Another reason I chose the woolly inky cap is because of how it fruits. They grow very fast and can pop up, open, and disappear within a day, or even a few hours. I chose that to reference the way you seem to always be starting and dropping projects, and as a nod to how many ideas, original characters and universes you have! 

They can grow in clusters, scattered or in clumps, and the cap sizes can vary dramatically between the mushrooms in a colony together. Woolly inky caps will fruit in fall, winter, spring and sometimes summer. They aren’t picky about what season they fruit in. Those points to me sort of represent how you make art for a few different fandoms, and make a variety of different kinds of art! Many mushrooms will only grow in one specific condition, and are very consistent with what they look like and how they grow, but the woolly inky cap will pop up whenever, and however it pleases! 

Based on my analysis of your blog, you really want people to interact with your posts, and sort of feel like people don’t care about your stuff. You ask for us (chat) to talk to you a lot, or have polls checking if it’s okay for you to keep doing your thing / posting random stuff, or if we want you to stop. The woolly inky cap, similarly, is the only somewhat-known inky cap that is not foraged, and it’s often overlooked when compared to the shaggy mane, inky cap, or mica cap mushrooms. But it’s still equally important to the environment as a decomposer, and doesn’t get enough credit. It has a job, (and I’m fairly sure you do too bc you posted about it at least once lol), and it does that job well! 

Here is some images of the woolly inky cap! (also known as the rabbit’s/hare’s foot at the beginning of its life cycle)

Welp, unless there are any last-minute objections ima clean them out soon lol

My ask boxes are so full and it’s kinda stressing me out lol. I am very tempted to just hit the delete all messages button. 😭

I never expected to get so many asks, I think maybe if I get rid of all of them and then start to delete any I know I won’t answer right away when I get them, then I can keep it under control next time? Is this a bad idea?

(If purge the ask boxes wins, and you sent me an ask you really want answered, send it again! Chances are the reason I never answered it is because it got swallowed by all the asks I get, which means I won’t answer it unless I get it again lol)

Hmm, now I have been thinking it well be Saint fixing arti or arti fixing saint

There is so much possibility in ur au

They’ll fix each other!!!

Saint will help Arti become more calm and patient, and Arti will help Saint learn how to stand up for themself and not be such a pushover!

That last ask I sent (the one about characters coming to life and knowing you wrote their stories wasn’t meant to be like, aggressive. Sorry if it came off that way.

I was just proposing a silly hypothetical in a joking “they know what you did” kinda way, sorry though looking back at the message (I made it at like 2 in the morning lol my ass did not have a functional enough mind to comprehend tone) I see how it could have came off that way

nahhh, no stress! I wasn’t offended, just a lil confused lol

I’d just like to say I think ur very cool mushroom. you seem like you’re going through a lot of things a lot of the time, and I think you deserve to have things at least a little easier. your art is wonderful and it makes me very happy to see you on my dash. hope you’re doing alright. <3

Cries. Thank you <3<3<3<3

(also I’m laughing you’re kinda right why am I literally always going through something lmfao 😭 I need a nap man)
