Recs if you like Ghost Music...

a collection of inventive, incisive, and invigorating works of contemporary and speculative fiction by women writers of East Asia and its diaspora.

This is a list of Mushroomcore related books! We have everything from horror, to cozy and fantasy/sci-fi. This is the era of Spontasy (Fantasy), Spomance (Romance) and other genres too. Essentially it's time for the mushroom goblins to take over the world

the title pretty much says it all, fic + nonfic featuring mushrooms and fungus!

dreamy, surreal, reflective texts 🤍 composed of fiction, poetry, non-fiction, and memoirs

Books about food, either non-fiction or foodie fiction

An on-going attempt to track Asian authors in my Interested/TBR (and hopefully Finished) categories. Books are generally fiction/lit fic/fantasy with some memoirs. Authors span West to East Asia, the Asian diaspora, and mixed-race folx.

Short-ish (& sometimes spicy) standalone speculative stories.

Books featuring spores, molds, and fungi. Suggestions welcome.

All sorts of stories about all sorts of women. Mostly litfic, some horror.

Cozy, Horror, Mystery, Adventure, Romance. As long as the book has shrooms as a major plot point, there is a place for it in this list.

What if mushrooms were sentient and hangry?

Speculative works that form part of what I've called the "the fungal imaginary" in an academic context

Warning: these reads may cause sudden cravings

List formerly known as weird girl elders. "Weird girl literature" books with characters that are over 30.

It’s always nice to feel like a normal person by reading about those more unhinged than you 😌 These are all women focused books. Some I’ve read and some I’m going to read. Apologies in advance if it gets long. Recommendations are absolutely welcome!! So please feel free.

I know a couple are written by men which might be taboo for some but I’ve included because I thought they were appropriate or the author has a track record of writing women well.

I love mushroom-related horror, and these are all the books I have found that use spores, fungus, or mushrooms as the antithesis of the book's horror.

Craft, Performance and Art-focused Fantasy/Gothic

books where mycology takes over in horrific/fantastical ways

I haven't read all of these myself yet, but the ones I haven't come recommended as cozy horror by Book Riot, and I trust them!
