Teeny tiny, hidden amongst the garden- are mini myconids. Some Delicious, some Deadly.1 in height, this hard enamel pin collection features little mushroom people, cute to look at, fun to learn!
Welcome Adventurers, to the land of Mini Myconids, Delicious or Deadly. Here lies some of the most (in)famous species, of deadly, delicious, mundane, beautiful, or odd myconids across the board. Chibi and tiny, hidden in plain sight, these little fun-guys are here to stay. Which will you meet?
IMPORTANT. Though each myconid is inspired off of a real mushroom, and all attributes are made to mirror them in some way...do not use any of our works or designs for mushroom identification. Foraging is a fantastic and fun activity for all ages, but a delicious treat can easily be a a deadly decision. Please exercise caution, encourage everyone to do their own research for their respective countries/regions, and most importantly - stay safe!

Popular Demand Shroomies:
This pair was inspired by the winning mushrooms of this campaign's competition!
In order to keep the initial funding goals low for unlocking main pins, we decided to put some extra stretch goals at the end in case we fund over a certain limit. This is our first full mini-pin campaign, so we're unsure how reception will be, but we're excited to try new things!
Stretch Goal #1: the Fairy Ring Field Journal
For those of you that have been with us for a few campaigns you'll know how much we love our journals, so we've decided that our first stretch goal will be just that! After our Cryptids and Critters campaign we were absolutely blown away by the wonderful texture and beautiful quality our manufacturer was able to produce for the Jackalope Journal... we wanted to repeat a new design on the same materials with the same processes. I hope you are as excited as we are! :3

I'm a Half Japanese, Half Filipino workaholic artist that loves folklore, fantasy, creatures, and everything inbetween. I like to surround myself with things that challenge me to constantly learn, and share with the world. My past history began with shadowing under Disney Artists in Disney Dreamer's Academy, entering in competitions and shows while earning my bachelor's degree in Visual Effects, and then using what I learned to help advance different industries in the CG space like in Private Defense, working in commercials, Film, and even dabbling in CyberSecurity. If it's something I can study, or work on, I'm probably already head deep. My chaotic adventure wrought life is more reigned in now that I have an official manager, who also happens to be my partner and best friend- Jacob. Though, I think it's my job to push his buttons to see what I can get away with.
Jacob - The Problem-Solver & "Goose Tamer" While my partner Tokii handles the artistic side of CritCreations I handle research and numbers. With my knack for numbers and having worked from a young age in my father's small construction business I've discovered I'm well-suited for running our business financially. Though, while I am good with numbers my greatest love is the research. I enjoy both history and storytelling which has made finding and relaying the information for our projects a fantastic task that I am utmost satisfied in doing. - I also keep my favorite artist on a tight leash, lest she burn herself out by working too hard.
