We are Mushrooms

You are a mushroom.

You don’t move. You don’t speak. You simply grow, observe, and wait. Seasons come and go. Knights, foxes, monks, and other wanderers pass through your forest clearing—each leaving their mark. You silently observe as they build shrines, bury treasures, and steal dropped coins.

You might even be eaten, but that’s okay.

You’ll grow back.

It’s just nice to be a mushroom for a while.

What you need to play

We are Mushrooms is a solo journaling game about being a mushroom. It plays in about 1-2 hours (or as long as you'd like) with a lot of replayability. You'll need a pencil, paper, and five six-sided dice (5d6) to play.

A solo game you can play together

Can you play this solo game with others? Yes!

All players start and end the game at the same time. When rolling for an encounter, all players (i.e. mushrooms) will experience that same event. How players react to and imagine events, however, will be an individual experience for each player.

Rules are included for a Head Mushroom to coordinate and facilitate the game.

The goal is to provide a framework where any number of players can have a shared activity and yet feel comfortable exploring their own creativity and imagination.
