What is Mushroomland?
 MUSHROOMLAND is a tribute to Nature, to Life under our feet. Our FAIRYTALES and FABLES convey KINDNESS and importance of being connected to all the beautiful living things around us, being amazed by the incredible wonder we’re surrounded with and grow as a better person. Like the genre implies, every story has a message - about love and friendship, wisdom and beauty, patience and faith, self-fulfillment and devotion. Every tale has hand-made character-DOLLS – MUSHROOMS, FLOWERS, BUTTERFLIES, FROGS, SNAIL, LADYBUG, CATERPILLAR, ROCKS, ACORNS - that also carry the messages of kindness – literarily, on their leaves, and in form of love embedded into making a doll by it's creator. Mushroomland’s COUCH COMPANIONS – colorful ART DOLLS and PILLOWS – will decorate your living space in a whimsical and creative way. Mushroomland relates to all – young and old, to people from all walks of life whose heart is open.

Why mushrooms?
 Mushrooms always fascinated people. For many years they were classified among the dwellers of the Plant Kingdom, though they were lacking the most characteristic feature of plants – their ability to create organic matter out of sunlight and water. It was discovered that mushrooms build their cells out of chitin – which is what insects’ bodies are built of, and the latter belong to the Animal Kingdom. The scientists had no choice but to agree that mushrooms are so unique and special that they should have their own kingdom – the Fungi Kingdom.
I bet you think of mushrooms as spongy puffballs, or rather capped stalks that you see under your feet in the forest if you look down, or better buy in a supermarket. Think different. Like a red apple is a fruit of a much bigger plant, the spongy being is just a fruit of a much bigger organism, mycelium, with its “branches” – threads of hyphae – spread underneath the surface, in soil, wood or other food source. The “fruit” can be colorful and whimsical and cute, or practically invisible, microscopic.
