Bidding on a Giant Mushroom

A forest floor lifted away to show eight rooms of mushroom keepers living between the roots. Top left is an auction hall where a man on a stage holds up a giant yellow mushroom to bidders with numbered paddles. Next, a shopkeeper and a customer lean over a glass dome of blue mushrooms. The third room is a laboratory where two people in white coats peer through microscopes. On the right, villagers gather around a map of fields at a round table. Below, workers sort a huge red toadstool and baskets of finds on long tables in a stone cellar. Then a compost kitchen, where a man shovels dark soil, and a growing room with long beds of white mushrooms. The last room shows a glowing web of roots and two elders with a red mushroom bouquet. The huge red toadstool and the glowing web of roots stand out against the earthy browns, the two brightest marks underground.
