Voted “Most Unique” by Staff!

For some of these pages, voting was so close together that people were only off by a point or two — In these cases, we’ve also added Honorable Mentions, and we’ve decided that Honorable Mentions will also receive a Winter Holiday Fun Book item of their choice.

To everyone that was mentioned as a chosen “Most Unique” or “Honorable Mention” entry, please notify us ASAP which Winter Holiday Fun Book item you would like by echoing me, the Bone Monster! (If you were chosen in multiple categories, that means you get one item for each mention!)

The winners of the Red Tufted Squirrel Mushrooms will be awarded their Mushroom on Monday, January 12th. Red Tufted Squirrel Mushrooms have been handed out!

Tall Tales Monster

“This aquatic monster seems capable of immobilizing its prey with its deathly stare. I am both impressed and wary.”

by Loon, Dove and Ersatz

“This entry is really fun! It blends in elements of eerie, whimsical, and silly all in one. It made me think of a Baba Yaga that just wants your love (for better or worse).”

“This little moustache man made my mother and I smile and giggle every time we saw it. We can just imagine it running around, dangly bits dangling, bumping into your feet and keeping you happy with its smiles and chuckles.”

Raffle of 3 Red Tufted Squirrel Mushrooms between these 9 users.:

The winners are: Auswren, Lena and Loon!

The Mycena Cave Dictionary

Meesh‘s “Tangletailed
“My favorite word is Tangletailed. I know a lot of ineki are tangletailed for each other :)”
“This is such a charming concept. Mycena could certainly use some slang, and this one is sweet, easy to remember, and fun to say.”

lollobrigida‘s “saltan/salteen
“This entry is super applicable! I can totally imagine the reuse of salt from rainwater, and.. I love salt, what can I say, I can absolutely imagine making salty snacks with it ;)!”

Skye‘s “Furlytwinge
“I loved the imagery in the definition, and it sounds like a very legitimate concern!  Not all fungus is good fungus, and there is a lot of fungus in the cave, so it makes sense that there are some odd fungal diseases floating about. :)”

Honorable mentions: Cohena‘s “Agiel Askana”, Nuncia‘s “Drasillisp” and Plasma‘s “Drasillic”!
Cohena; “Agiel Askana is definitely my favorite! Well thought out and fits the feeling of Mycena’s lore.”
Nuncia; “Drasillis are already pretty endearing, and imagining them with a drasillisp makes me melt. I also like that you immediately know what that word means without even having to look at the definition.  Way to go! :)”
Plasma; “This entry is highly applicable and super appropriate for a Mycena Cave Dictionary. Personally, I would love to see this incorporated in the site lore!”

Raffle of 1 Red Tufted Squirrel Mushroom between these 3 users:

The winner is: Skye!

Coloring Book

“I *love* the colors and the glowy effect that Pirran achieved on the rocks.”
“I really like how the texture of the rocks look, it kind of reminds me of opals.”

“Frey’s entry captures the essence of what the moment is about — providing a warm cozy home on a cold winter’s night.  I want to jump into that picture and curl up!”
“I enjoy how the flames look, and the softness of the snow.”

“I really like how unique you’ve made the shading on both the ineki and squirrel. I also really enjoyed the glow around the rocks and blue wisp!”

Honorable mention: Crow!
“I had a hard time choosing first place for the Colouring Book, because so many amazing colouring styles were used in so many ways. This entry jumped out at me because of its unique style, incorporated in the full piece, giving it a special vibe :D” and “I think this is a super interesting technique to use and I really enjoy the effect it made. It kind of gives it a neat sort of texture and just…it reminds me a bit of both stain glass and snow.”

Raffle of 1 Red Tufted Squirrel Mushroom between these 3 users:

The winner is: Pirran!

What was that Sound?

Nyfeaena‘s Snoring Dracckos
“Nyfeaena’s entry made me giggle a lot — the ending caught me off-guard!  I love how weird Drakccos appear and it makes sense that the noises they make are equally as strange and mysterious!” and “I have to admit, I laughed out loud when I read the conclusion. The sound itself scared me a little, but when I discovered it was caused by a pile of snoring Draccko, I couldn’t help myself!”

Hush‘s Cupboard Gremlin
“Cupboard gremlins brighten any holiday with their shenanigans.”

Songbird‘s Magnificent
“I really like the onomatopoeia in the piece and how interestingly enough it does read exactly like the sound (also bad magpie puns).”

Raffle of 1 Red Tufted Squirrel Mushroom between these 3 users:

The winner is: Songbird!

Caption Contest


“Instructions for exorcism too vague, accidentally baked a cake.”
by Miranda

“This caption is short and sweet, yet manages to tie together different parts of the image. It also hits that sort of sly, wry humor right on the head.”


“Just a fiscal conservative who sleeps on giant piles of money in his natural habitat.”
by cadpig

“Ha. Hahahaha! How accurate :D It almost sounds like you’re a (very bored) tour guide passing by an interesting exhibit, exactly the way most (very bored) tour guides usually sound!”


“The Ghost Mafia’s deal was a simple one: If Florence provided the cake, they’d stay out of her basement.”
by Hush

“Those ghosts are DEFINITELY in the mafia—you can even tell who is the evil mastermind and who is the side-kick.  I would do exactly as they say, Florence. ):”

Honorable Mentions: Aloulore, Sheppard and Meesh!
Aloulore; “Jeremy made me laugh out loud.”
Sheppard; “I laughed. Hard. I had to look closely, as it’s really a small detail in the image, but once I’d found it.. It was so fitting, with the ghost popping out of the spatula!”
Meesh; “This line is really catchy and I keep coming back to it.”

Raffle of 1 Red Tufted Squirrel Mushroom between these 3 users:

The winner is: Miranda!

Doodle Page

SURPRISE! We’re raffling off another Red Tufted Squirrel Mushroom for the three most unique doodle pages, because we ..didn’t know why we wouldn’t in the first place :D

“I’m very impressed with Tamako’s doodle!” and “It’s clear that a lot of time and effort was spent on this picture. The lineart is detailed and neat, and the inclusion of background and foreground, as well as varying shades of gray, give it an illusion of depth that makes a very compelling picture.”

”.. Congratulations, you have scarred me for life (Bone Monster’s sticky-uppy leg though.. ahhhhh) XD!” and “Who would have thought? Of course the Bone Monster has to keep himself clean, with all that dust & grime piling up around the Cave Entrance! This made me smile big :D”

“OMNOMNOMNOM PRESENTSSSSS! (It also looks a little tipsy with that nose, wonder what it’s been drinking..)”

Honorable mention: Auswren!
“Lots of giggling ensued after looking at this entry!  The situation created fit the dras’ expression perfectly and SUCH DRAMA.. so many ugly sweaters in the world and they managed to pick the same one D:!!! Poor babies!”

Raffle of 1 Red Tufted Squirrel Mushroom between these 3 users.

The winner is: Tamako!
