The King Beneath the Cap

Описание: A young man, addicted to hunting and eating rare wild mushrooms, finds a monstrous blood-red specimen pulsing beneath an ancient oak. He photographs it, brags that it’s “the king,” and takes it home to cook.

The next day he vanishes. No messages, no signs of life.

Three days later, his cousin forces entry into the silent apartment. A cloying, sickly-sweet stench of rot hangs in the air. The bedroom door stands ajar, leaking dim crimson light.

Inside, the entire ceiling has become a single colossal crimson mushroom, wet and breathing. Thick veins of fungus crawl across the walls like living roots. Clear slime drips in slow, heavy strands.

Then the cap splits open with a wet tearing sound. From the glistening gills unfolds the cousin’s pale, human face (eyes clouded milk-white, mouth moving soundlessly). Spores drift from his lips as he whispers the visitor’s name in a soft, hungry voice that is no longer entirely human.
