Recs if you like Girl in the Creek...

Cottagecore, but make it disgusting & horrifying. I feel like CG Drews would like this list

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!

all things fungal horror ❤︎⁠ there are a few mushroom and cottagegore lists around, but i wanted to make a comprehensive guide to the genre! suggestions welcome :)

fiction books that feature fungus, mushrooms, or bacteria in sort sort of way! mainly horror leaning, because who isn’t scared of sentient mold?

They say spring is the time when nature comes to life. And sometimes that's scary.

It's super hot outside and you're in the mood for summer slasher books and/or a lowkey mysterious fall vibe just like in the Gravity Falls summerween episode? Then this list is for YOU. 🙂‍↕️ Feel free to comment your own recs, I'll add those. 🫶🏻

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

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.

books with botanical horror themes, inspired by the botanical horror quest and don't let the forest in!

Shhh it's okay, just let the plants inside

botanical horror my beloved

Horror Writers Association’s 2025 Bram Stoker Award nominees for Graphic Novel, First Novel, Long Fiction, and Novel.

Any of your favorites make this list?

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

plants and horror. for those who love botanical horror, because nature can be sinister.

Books that will make you reconsider every salad you've ever eaten. May include paranoia, laughter, and apologizing to your lawn.

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.
