some of my fave shrooms from this wonder of a book:
- the antipope: the profane mushroom which inhibits any area from hosting religious rites. mwahahahahah
- hypermushroom: the hypothetical and unknown mushroom which exists in higher spiritual dimensions which humans can’t perceive, and whose existence i assume, can never be proven…?
- little mr. music: the tiny blue-capped shrooms which, when dried out, act as bells which tinkle in the minor key. when the wind passes them by, it ‘whistle[s] in a complimentary note.’
- mystic dream aminata: the renowned dream mushroom which, if consumed, grants the dream prophetic qualities and which can be brought from the dreamspace into the real world. 
- quebling cathedral: the mycellium network which CREATES, DOWN TO THE TINIEST DETAIL, A REPLICA OF ANY BUILDING UNDERGROUND!!! AND WHICH IS USED TO REBUILD ANCIENT STRUCTURES THAT NO LONGER STAND!?!?!?!?!??? OMG!!!!!
- uroborous mushroom: the floating, circular mushroom which pops out of existence when someone nears it.
