I'm giving #funguary over on tumblr a shot and I think I might have immediately missed the point of the assignment XD ur supposed to create a character based on each of the various mushroom prompts & today's prompt was a lilac coral fungus. I saw "coral" and blacked out and ended up with a mermaid. so then I was like hmm how can I re-emphasize that this is a mushroom character first and a merfolk character second
and that is why there are random toadstools in the kelp forest
