All our Fungal Familiars are 2 inch hard enamel pins with 2 clutches on the back. Beautiful and colourful, these pins are perfect for bringing with you on any quest.

Latest Updates from Our Project:

Prints Completed and Manufacturing Update!
6 months ago – Sat, May 18, 2024 at 01:27:24 PM

Happy May Long Weekend!

Hope everyone (who participates) is having a great long weekend! We're working on finalizing some bits and pieces so that we can begin shipping out your Fungal Familiars soon (whoooo!) and starting to turn our attention to some top secret brand new projects that we're very excited to let you in on soon.....

For now though we have some great images to share (and this is a VERY image heavy update xD), so read on!

Survey Completion!

Thank you so much to everyone for getting the surveys done so quickly! We're at about 96 percent survey completion, which is awesome! There are still a couple of surveys not completed, and a couple of pledges with cards that weren't able to charge. We definitely want everyone to be able to receive their rewards, so please make sure you head to the survey and input your info :D

Early Backer Wallpapers

We've also completed and uploaded the PC, Android, and Iphone wallpapers for our Early Backer rewards; Early Backers should now see those in their list of items, and once orders are locked down you'll be able to download them and bring your favourite Fungal Familiars everywhere :)

Prints!

Before we lock down orders, we wanted everyone to be able to check out exactly what each of the prints looks like! We're very excited to be able to present our bright, colourful, and playful Fungal Familiars in their natural habitats :)

                               Button the Bunny                                                           Henni the Axolotl      
                                  Inki the Cat                                                                     Nita the Tortoise
                                 Pixie the Mouse                                                          Puffball the Possum
                            Sarcodon the Sloth                                                          Shiitake the Snake
                                  Titi the Owl                                                                Trumpet the Ferret

We hope that you love these prints, and look forward to seeing where everyone hangs them in their homes :D Once you've had a chance to check them all out, you can head into your BackerKit surveys and make your selections! We'll be locking down orders in a couple of weeks so that we can get prepped for shipping everything out to you.

Manufacturing Update WITH IMAGES!!

We're getting close to finishing manufacturing for the majority of the Familiars! The Shinies are still being worked on, as well as the amazing Murrimi pin, but almost everything else is complete :) We're very excited to show you some exclusive first looks!


Locking Down Orders

Lastly, we'll be locking down orders in a couple of weeks so that we can start prepping everyone's rewards to go out :) Please make sure you've filled out your surveys, corrected any card errors, and included any add-ons you'd like to receive! We're so excited to get your rewards into your hands, thank you so much for all your support!

Surveys and Smoke Tests
6 months ago – Tue, Apr 30, 2024 at 10:49:15 PM

Hello Fungal Friends!

We're beginning to look toward fulfilment and getting all of your brand new Fungal Familiars into your hands :D 

A survey will be sent out shortly wherein you'll be able to let us know which specific pins, prints, stickers, etc you would like. This will also be a great opportunity to add-on any items you have your eye on, or add additional pins by bumping up your pledge level. 

The first step to sending out the surveys is to run a smoke test; approximately 5 percent of our supporters will be getting their surveys first; assuming all goes well, we'll be releasing the survey to everyone else after that!

We're looking forward to seeing which Fungal Familiars you'd like to join your adventuring parties :D

All the best from Michael and Morgan

That's a Wrap Folks! So Many Mushies!
7 months ago – Thu, Apr 18, 2024 at 03:58:51 PM

Whoo! What a ride everyone :D Thank you all so very much for supporting our very first Pin campaign, and helping us discover and adopt out so many Fungal Familiars! This has been a truly wonderful experience for us, and we hope you've enjoyed watching the progress and unlocking so many fun options to choose from.

With your help we unlocked 5 Fungal Familiar designs, and discovered and unlocked SEVEN rare shiny variants! Each of these options will be available in pin, sticker, and print format for you to choose from when the surveys go out in a few weeks. Given that we had another tie for the final unlock between the shiny versions of Pixie the Mouse and Titi the Owl, Morgan and I have decided we'll simply be unlocking all the rest for you folks to choose from! This means, including the beautiful and amazing custom pin being made for the wonderful Murrimi, you'll have 21 adoptable options (10 standard, 10 rare shiny, and the one delightful custom), and if you backed both our campaign and Classy Critters you'll also be getting the Flutterdrake :D 

The late backer store will be going up shortly as well (May 2), so if you missed the campaign but would still like to support us and adopt a familiar, you'll be able to!

For the moment we're going to put our heads down to finalize a few things, but the survey where you can pick your pins will be coming shortly, and we look forward to seeing who you'll choose to adopt!

Thank you again so much from the bottom of our hearts!

Mushrooms, Familiars, 24 Hours to Go! This is it!!!
7 months ago – Wed, Apr 17, 2024 at 12:04:28 PM



Hello everyone! If you've been waiting to back or upgrade your pledge now is the time! With 24 hours to go we're very excited to see which of the remaining Fungal Familiars you'll discover in their rare shiny forms. We still need your help to bring us over the finish line, and we'd greatly appreciate your support :D



Speaking of Shinys, we've unlocked another overnight! The only problem is that Henni the Axolotl and Shiitake the Snake are tied in our poll; We don't think that such good friends should be separated, so we've decided to just unlock both of them at once! This means that if we can add $1200 to this campaign we'll unlock EVERY SHINY FAMILIAR TYPE!!!

ALSO! We're so so close to unlocking the Fungal Familiars rules-light RPG adventure; just 10 more backers and we'll be releasing the first little module. If you like RPGs, playing as little mushy heroes, and standing up against the darkness, please tell your friends to head to the campaign and help us unlock this cute little game :D

Thank you all so, so much for your support during this campaign. This is our first time making pins like this, and the community we've found has been beautiful and wonderful. You all rock so much, and we're really excited for you to receive your brand new Fungal Friends. We have so much love and gratitude for all of you <3.

Under 48 Hours Left!!
7 months ago – Tue, Apr 16, 2024 at 05:51:43 PM

Hello Backers :)

Our adventure is nearly at an end, as we are under 48 hours left in the Fungal Familiars campaign! Now is the time to back if you haven't already, upgrade pledges, and/or decide if you'd like any of our amazing add-ons. :D

If you haven't had a chance to look at our add-ons, we offer stickers, prints, and mushroom dice from Bookwyrm Games, (Like these dice? Check out www.bookwyrmgames.com for more)!

We're about $100 from unlocking the next *SHINY* pin! The more shinies we unlock, the more pin options you get once the campaign ends, so please help us out by sharing our campaign with everyone you can.



Thank you so much everyone! We couldn't have come this far without all of you! <3
