Xylophage

A sculpture of destruction and rebrith.
And giant mushrooms.

About

Xylophage is a dreamscape of the remnants of a giant tree. The stump of the tree becomes a cozy room with benches, ringed with flames. Surrounding the stump, gargantuan mushrooms have taken root, light and flames creating a warm, fun space for gathering and playing.

Effects

The giant fire mushrooms of Xylophage boast 24 poofer effects, each controlled by participants.
