![]() ![]() ![]() Though I’ve put him in under Minya on the basis that he just looks less trippy than her the research I’ve done for this article tells me that a lot of hallucinogenic mushrooms are in fact blue, and magic mushrooms themselves actually turn blue if you bruise them. XavierĪnother clear psychonaut, Xavier comes with a blue cosmic-patterned cap. Minya apparently travels around in a camper van with her best friend Brindall (an equally trippy looking rainbow tie dye platypus), which has some 60’s hippie culture vibes to it, but they mostly seem to do nature stuff and photography so its less of an insinuation than Sakina’s is up there. See how she’s winking at you? I’m pretty sure that’s because she knows she can make you see the face of the universe if you get to close to her. Minya is obviously not a real mushroom but that doesn’t matter because just take a look at that galaxy print all over her cap! A more obvious candidate for a psychonaut I’ve never seen, Mina is what magic mushrooms should look like frankly – plus she’s purple, and I checked, that is the color of at least one variety of hallucinogenic mushroom (mycena pura, they’ll also make you pretty sick, so don’t). After all her bio says she likes daydreaming and when she does fall asleep in the middle she has really trippy dreams, and if that doesn’t sound like an insinuation I don’t know what does! 8. So is she a defanged fly agaric, rendered harmless via cuteness, or is she representing an extremely potent form of LSD, such as you might have found at Woodstock circa 1969? I’ve concluded it’s the former but feel free to disagree in the comments. I debated whether she needed to come above or below Malcolm because while the flower is cute and childlike, it’s also reminiscent of the ’60s and ’70s hippie artwork and we all know they had only the most magic of mushrooms. SakinaĬoming in just under Malcom is Sakina, who seems also seems to be a flu agaric but cutesified, with a pink tummy and a little yellow flower. The fact that he seems to be a real, intensely psychotropic mushroom has Malcom coming in at the top spot on the list. He’s also quite toxic, (if indeed he is a fly agaric), which a lot of people mistakenly assume means is a death sentence if you eat it, but toxic doesn’t always mean (completely) deadly-sometimes it just means you’ll have a really bad trip featuring intense hallucinations, with just a small risk of death at the end. He appears to be a classic fly agaric, the mushroom featured in all those charming watercolor paintings of fairies, ubiquitous in children’s books and nursery decor. Meet Malcom, a soccer playing mushroom with a white spotted red cap. Now with that out of the way, here’s my list of the most psychogenic-looking mushrooms in the Squishmallow collection from most to least. Available in hundreds of different designs they have adorable, friendly little faces and equally cute backstories, often coming in clusters of friends and family (so you have to buy the whole set of course, its very smart marketing). Squishmallows are the softest, squishiest stuffed toys you’ll ever come across. Perhaps a Gen Z relative asked you for a mushroom Squishmallow for their birthday and you turned to google thinking what the heck is that exactly? Well, don’t worry, because here’s your crash course on the cutest, most highly coveted, collectible plush toys around. Instead, I’ve decided to rank them by how likely they’d be to cause their unwitting snugglers to take a psychotropic journey if they made the mistake of licking, or even just inhaling a little too close by, their fungal friend.īut maybe you’re here because you don’t know what a Squishmallow actually is. ![]() But of course, ranking them by sheer cuteness factor would be too obvious, and actually a little too difficult on top of it-they’re all really cute! ![]() After all, mushrooms are already one of the cutest vegetables out there (although, their status as a vegetable is dubious depending on who you ask), and the variety of weird colors and shapes they appear in has nature doing half the work for them. With all the cottage-core girls, mushroom witches, and non-binary frog and fungus fans around, it isn’t surprising that Squishmallow has released a line of adorable cuddly shrooms. ![]()
