October has arrived! This month, our OotS coat is Plaguebearer, along with their Doctor’s Mask and Drifty Cursed Censer! October’s coat & censer was created by priz, while the mask was a collab between priz and Meru. You can purchase this set in the Out of the Shadows shop through the end of the month!  Fall Seasonals in stock With autumn staunchly here to stay, Bruc’s selection of Seasonal mushrooms has been rotated. Be sure to get your hands on any of your desired Fall Seasonal coats before Winter blows in on December 21st!
Creative Collective September’s monthly roundup has been posted, and stickers, gems, and Bags of Wonder have been distributed! Thank you all for your submissions and feedback! This month, we are taking a break from our regularly scheduled Creative Circles to promote participation in our Inktober activity! Feedback for September’s submissions remains open, however, and will still be rewarded with a participation gem and end-of-month feedback raffle. See you in November!     Inktober has begun This year, we are excited to be running our own Inktober activity! Flex your creative muscles through a bit of daily practice and share your pieces with the community! And, of course, earn some exciting prizes in the process - including, for those of you who are dedicated enough to complete all 31 days, your choice of any individual Glowing Changingshroom coat mushroom!
Coats for a Cause wrapping up Our current Coat for a Cause supporting RAICES is on sale through October 8th, after which the mushrooms will be available for purchase in Fungimental Magic. A reminder that all proceeds from this coat will be donated directly to the charity. Since we launched the shop, you’ve raised $975 for this cause! So close to an even $1000! Can we breach it? :D Artist Applications We are now in the final stages of our search for an additional staff artist! We will be hosting final interviews and discussions shortly, and will then be ready to invite an applicant on board for a trial period. We’re very excited to be able to share more information with you all, so stay tuned! New Items Once again, we have been inundated with edit donations! You can find the full list in this post, and as always, you can view all of our items here.
Ye Olde Feedback & Behind the Scenes The feedback summary for our Ye Olde Midsummer Faire event has been posted! We also put together another behind the scenes interview for this event, which can be found here! You can learn all about the process behind making our event adventure and what went into putting together the event banner. We hope that you enjoy our glances behind the scenes - they’re something that we plan on doing for future events, as well! The Halloween shop cometh Howard is once more making preparations to share his collection of Halloween goodies with the Cave! His Moonlight Collection will open starting on October 31st for a limited time, freshly stocked with all sorts of tricks and treats for your perusal.  Upcoming fall event We expect our fall event to begin in early November. More details will be made available as we approach this date - however, we do have one important note to share with you all. This year, our fall event will not be our typical word-building fare. However, we know that this type of event is quite beloved, so it will instead return this coming Spring. We’re trying out something a bit new, and are excited to share more details as November approaches!

So here’s a random question — will there ever be a separate category for the seasonal coats? There are enough of them (21 out of the 32 coats in the “Other” category, if my math is correct, with three years where they were the only coat released in that category.), and they happen on a regular basis — like a slower monthly.

Hyasynthetic We haven’t ever talked about potentially separating it, but I’m happy to bring it up and see if we should! The nice thing about it being in the “other” category is that it makes it less disruptive if we ever discontinued them, but at this point, I’m not sure if there would be any other cons to separating them out. It would be worth considering further anyhow. :D I’m also happy to re-evaluate those categorizations! I think my logic at the time was that Lovestruck was given out through an forum activity rather than an major site event.

As time allows, I’m going to stream some of the things I’m working on for Mycena Cave right here.
Please remember that, while this is an offsite stream, the Site Rules still apply to the picarto chat when the chat is available. Be excellent to each other and enjoy the sneak peek!

Lumina Galaxy is exactly what I need for so many characters, I can’t even decide who gets it. Loving all the new sponsored items. <3 Edit: That got me wondering, will the Misc. Images section be updated with the large images of user-sponsored backgrounds like we currently have for the other background items? Myla is this a question for you? I think in the past you have answered questions about this page?

New template option for unique pets Kelph now have a template hoof option. Before if you wanted hooves on a custom, they needed to be drawn from scratch for 8 PP. We now have template hooves you can request for 3 PP! They have been added to the pricing guide.
Thanks goes to Meru for making these available. <3!
