 It Begins There is a soft glow along the horizon as the first sliver of moonlight peeks its way into the sky. Slowly, with the grace of a thousand lace-winged butterflies, its majesty comes into view. The Sorceress’ Eye; the Rind Peaks; the Fondue Sea. One by one, these familiar landmarks on the distant satellite come into view—and soon, surrounded by wispy evening clouds, the cheese moon has risen proudly into the sky.
Marcy awakes to the sound of low mooing just outside his window—the distant slorrrpMmmmooOOooo of the Milkshrooms’ gills suddenly engorging themselves with liquid. With all the grim countenance of a classically painted farmer, he places his hat upon his head and turns to you, who just happen to be standing at his bedside. “Gather the Moonsters,” he says—and somehow, you know exactly what he’s talking about. The Moonster Drasillis live in a nearby commune. They’re the best farmhands this side of, well, wherever another farm that doesn’t belong to Marcy is. Before you can question just how, exactly, you have this alien knowledge, Marcy pulls his pitchfork from the wall and says, “I’ll meet you in the Milkshroom fields.”
Rows of large green and brown Milkshrooms line the field, their translucent gills large and distended, full of a pale, whitish liquid. One by one, the Moonsters set down their pails and settle themselves onto a stool, reaching up to grasp each gill that runs along the underside of the Milkshroom’s cap. As they expertly squeeze the liquid from the gills, a hoarse moo sound escapes the shroom. Soon enough, the air is filled with moos, the gasping splorches of liquid being released, and the soft ringing of metal buckets being filled.
He pauses his work just long enough to hand you a pail and gesturing to one of the many fields of Mushrooms. “The Moonsters will show you!” As he wipes the sweat from his brow, he says, “But, if milking’s not your thing, there’re plenty of other tasks to be attended to. You can check in with Darcy, who’s working on developing some new Milkshroom cheeses, or attend Professor Mariel’s lecture on the history of the Milkshroom.” You nod as you consider your options, and as Marcy turns away from you to get back to work he says, “Whatever you decide to help with, I appreciate it. Harvest’s gonna be big this year—we can certainly use all the help we can get.”
Game: Moonsters’ Mushroom Milking Madness
Do you have what it tastes to be a magnificent milker? Test out your milking skills with assistance of the milking Moonsters here. Participation Prize This activity runs until 23:59 April 15th Activity: Darcy’s Daring Dairy Developments
The number of ways in which Milkshroom milk can be utilized is nigh unlimited. However, one of the most beloved uses for this delectable substance is cheese. Darcy has been experimenting with the excess of her brother’s milk harvests, and has come up with a number of unique cheeses—all made with Milkshroom milk, but wildly different in nearly all other aspects. Now, she needs your help here! Participation Prize This activity runs until 23:59 April 15th Activity: Professor Mariel’s Comparative Natural History 101
Strangely, multiple scientists of the past have claimed to discover the Milkshroom, and each of their studies are all different from one another. Come puzzle this out with us here! Participation Prize This activity runs until 23:59 April 15th Overall Participation
Players will also get a sticker for participation in any one of these activities: Players will get to pick between an active, upright, or mushroom Moonster if they participate in both the forum activities, Darcy’s Daring Dairy Developments and Professor Mariel’s Comparative Natural History 101.

Love the event! I did have one small issue - on the 10th game of Mushroom Milking, it did not show me the results of the last game, it just loaded up the ‘You have already played as many games as you can today’ message :pSnafflewyrm I had this same issue. I went to play today and my previous 10th game was still onscreen, but my tenth game today did the same as described above. (the the score was appropriately added to my final tally).

Did my cheese tasting station entries not meet the requirements somehow? Because i did both(are they too long..?) and yet not only did i not get the cheese moons i’m not on the winners list for a moonster? but i got my milk mustache and cowbell.. I can understand if i wasn’t suppose to do two testing stations but even if only one was eligible as far as i can tell both meet the requirements…?
