Mycologist's Primer (PRE-ORDER)
Introducing the Mycologist’s Primer, a system-agnostic illustrated guide to real-world magical mushrooms, lichens, and slime molds. Inspired by 19th-century field guides and millennia of folklore, myths, legends, and occult writings, it brings a carefully curated collection of delectable morsels right to your gaming table.
From agarikon, a favourite snack of nature spirits, to antler-growing yellow stagshorn, the Mycologist’s Primer provides thoroughly-researched and fully-illustrated information on 100 species of fungi, lichens, and slime molds. Whether you’re looking for a taste of mycological science or a whimsical charcuterie board of magic, gaming material, and world-building inspiration, this book is for you!
Each entry in Mycologist’s Primer provides basic biological information, notes on habitats and distribution, and practical advice on mushroom hunting. Wherever relevant, it also sprinkles in a dash of culinary and medicinal properties, together with information about toxicity. Each entry comes with extensive notes on magical properties, based on real-world folklore and ready to be transplanted into your games, novels, and imagination.

Important Notes:
1. Meeple Stars can be earned on retail merchandise purchased through both our webstore and café shop.
2. Most of our prices include VAT at 20%. Meeple Stars are not earned on the VAT
portion of the price. For example, if you buy a game for £50, you’ll earn Meeple Stars on the net amount of £41.67 (the remaining £8.33 goes to HMRC), which would give you 125 Meeple Stars.
3. Cover charge payments and food and drink purchases at the café do not qualify for
Meeple Stars.
4. Meeple Stars can be redeemed either during webstore checkout or when purchasing games
at the café. Each discount can only be applied to a single purchase. If the value of the item is less than the discount amount, the remaining balance will be forfeited.
5. Discounts cannot be used for shipping costs, only for merchandise.
