Impossible Mushroom Story vol. I: The Museum of the Largest Living Organism to Date

Best played in full-screen mode (click button on lower-right of screen).

This is the first volume of the Impossible Mushroom Story series. Made for the 1-DAY JAM (theme: ground).

What happens when a small government decides to dig up an entire 12,082 mi² single specimen of honey mushroom to display as The Museum of the Largest Living Organism to Date museum exhibit? What would the voices of local residents and government entities of this fictitious state sound like when faced with such a preposterous endeavor?

Our team acquired a low-fidelity pamphlet from that alternate timeline and are offering it in full, here, for your reading pleasure. Due to the entropic nature of jumping across timelines, the quality of the artifact was affected, however it is still legible. Our quantum forensic experts believe this pamphlet serves as a form of "community propaganda" and have traced it to U.S. Franklin state governor Aspen's office of Timeline Z-108. 

Legal Notice:

It is worth reminding denizens of the other timeline, should they feel they were unjustly slandered, that they do not enjoy the typical legal remedies and due process afforded to citizenry of the one true realm (ours). In fact, the humans and fungi mentioned within this pamphlet are only marginally more tangible than "nonexistent," and I'm just being nice.

Furthermore, the parallel U.S. government of Franklin dissolved in the late 1780's and never did reconvene. In other words, enjoy extricating that ocean of mycelium out of half your biome as a last-ditch effort to stimulate a failing economy!

Rejoice in having been born into the right timeline, dear reader...
