The MushRoom

THIS IS OUR ART SUITE "THE mUSHrOOM"

While walking through the woods on the way home from a long day of Mushroom picking, you come across a curious patch of Fungi that looks particularly tasty. Feeling hungry from your adventure, you decide to pick one and take a bite. After doing so, a strange feeling washes over you and your senses become heightened as the forest begins to grow. You come to realize suddenly that the forest is not growing, and it is you that is shrinking. You keep shrinking until you are the size of an insect. What was once the forest floor you walked on, is now a jungle of Jurassic proportions. “This can’t be happening”, you tell yourself. “This must be a dream”. “I‘m going to lay down, take a deep breath, close my eyes, relax and everything will be back to normal. This is only a dream” … Or is it?

Guests of the Mush Room will be transported to a microcosmic interpretation of the forest floor and invited to relax within the substrate of the woods amongst the leaves, mushrooms and creatures that inhabit this hidden world.
