Mushroom Season – A Six Image Narrative
Glory to you, o Sacred Mushrooms of Mystical Travel! Thanks to your tasty blessing I will travel deep into the Underworld to ask my Great Ancestors about the future of our Tribe. Glory to you!
Shroomsies! Oh! Shroomsies! We have luck, precious! We found tasty, tasty shroomsies! We will feast today precious, oh we will feast! Shroomsies, shroomsies, lalala.
Oh! UFO! Unspeakable Fungoid Object!
Hmm, the White Cloud, rare mushroom. It will be A valuable ingredient of my witcher’s potions. But I have to be very careful…
Oh, Mycena pura, beautiful specimen! Such shapely gills!
Oh no, it’s lilac bonnet! I’ll better retreat…

Authors note:
My intention is to create a story with the same or almost the same frame, with only the passers by changing. I also wanted to show how the context changes when you replace the figure but the mushrooms remains the same.

What a great idea. I’ve always had the environment change to suit the subject. I might have to try this.
Thank You very much Tony! I tried to check how the story changes with changing characters, not the environment, like in Rashomon. And I tried to shoot it in order to make the mushroom the main character, when it turns out to be poisonous. I hope that it has any sense.
I also like the choice of mushrooms for the main subject. The fact that they have a limited life also gives a sense of urgency to the images.
