Hatter Mushroom – under the cover of unreality. Reality has this thing about it that you often want to escape from it, or run into its second, opposite dimension. Into a dream, fantasy, dream. Into something that is not there – and because of that it is all the more so. Dreaming gives respite, allows you to catch your breath and feeds the imagination. You can never, ever get rid of it, because then… well, what then?

But there would be no unreality if it weren’t for reality itself. That is why I am recalling an important and undeniable fact – mushrooms, as someone once said, are the “internet of the forest”. A treasury of information and a fiber optic communication.

These mushrooms of ours are so unreal. A bit fairy-tale, a bit fairy-tale. They are such carriers of the internet of imagination. Each a bit different and distinctive. Each self-confident, which is why so expressive. And each one leads to a different place – because it depends on who it reaches.

We consider the mushroom picking of creativity to have begun. Let it bring joy, let it give satisfaction and let it take you where you have never been.
