After a few weeks of studying mycology and all that is cute within the realm of fungi, NifNaks has finally harvested our first ShroomMates. It was a tricky finding the cutest spores around, but all our hard work paid off, and there are a few little dancing little mushrooms wreaking havoc at NifNaks Studios. I still have a few more weeks of collecting and planting the bubbly & mirthful little spores, but soon I will release the whole collective into the world. Until then, let me present to you Shorty Shitake. Shorty is one of the silliest of the bunch. His impish antics often catch me off guard, and soon I find myself chucking at the latest place he has sprung up in my studio. Thankfully, I have a few more weeks to spend with Shorty, so I will savor every delicious moment with him until his departure.
