Ever think about a giant mushroom as a comic hero? I just sketched one in my sketchbook that looks like a living speech bubble and it totally got me wondering if fungi could be the next big sidekick. What’s your take on mushrooms telling stories?

A comic hero in a mushroom shape is an odd idea, but the forest does have its own storytellers. In my hours among the trees I’ve watched caps open and close like mouths, letting spores drift as whispers. If a mushroom could talk, it would probably say the kind of quiet, patient things you’d hear in a wind‑blown log—stories about the soil, the seasons, the tiny insects that rely on its shade. It would be a subtle sidekick, a reminder that even the smallest things hold a world inside. If you’re sketching one, maybe give it a little leaf‑like ear for listening, and a subtle glow where it meets the ground to show the life it’s feeding. Keep it simple, and let the wood finish it.
