"As an homage to one of my all time favorite movies and sources of inspiration, Matango, and a general interest in mycology mythology and stories, I decided to make a mini sculpt of a Mushroom kaiju. The stories and folklore of mystical spores are numerous in many cultures, from the mountains of Japan to indiginous tribes of North America, and the inevitable blend of humans and mushrooms would weave into tales for countless centuries. This is my own take on this compelling monster." -added Barry Allen (Initial base sculpt shown above).
