🍄👀

That’s right, we are BACK at new website toadstool-magazine.com!

New email address for submissions and queries: madcap@toadstool-magazine.com

We missed you - sorry for going dark! We’re back and planning a bumper issue in December so get those submissions in.

Keep your eyes peeled for more gnews 🍄

Some of you are informing me that the video displays normally, others say it displays sideways.

If you are adversely affected by this circumvolutionary anomaly, please rotate your screen (or your head) accordingly 🙃🍄

🍄Submission Guidelines🍄

I am once again casting the net for submissions to Toadstool Magazine!

We are planning for a new issue to be released in early December, a bumper issue that will be a good bit larger than the last ones. Due to missing a couple of scheduled issues over the Summer and Autumn, this issue will not be restricted by seasonal themes - anything goes!

We are looking for short stories, poems, art, articles/reviews, recipes, crafting instructions, or whatever else you can dream up!
Themes: fairytales, fantasy, GNOMES, whimsy, woodland critter stories… anything that roughly fits the bill is welcome. Send it to the address below!
Word limit on stories is about 6k words - I’ll take longer stories but they better be really, really good to be worth so much real estate in the magazine 😉

Please note the new submission address: madcap@toadstool-magazine.com

Deadline: November 10th

Thank you,
Merry Madcap

Please consider a donation to Hiraeth, after the tragic loss of her husband Jeff. All money goes directly to her and their child.

I didn’t know Jeff personally, to my regret, but I have known Hiraeth a good while. Anything you could do to help would go a long way, so please dig deep. Nobody should lose a husband and father so young.

Thank you

I want to thank everyone for all of the support that my daughter and I have gotten this past week.

Hearing all of the stories, appreciation, and the impact that Jeff had on so many of you has definitely given me some comfort in such a painful time.

This is a previously unreleased song that I feel was unintentionally created to be released in this moment, so I’m dedicating this to Jeff.

He inspired me and motivated me to not only create, but to grow as an artist and as a person. Besides the love we shared, he gave me the greatest gift I could have asked for… a daughter. Her smile keeps me strong.

His memory will live on through her and the stories we all share of him. ❤️

We are back! Gaze upon its glory! The new issue is in my grubby little gnome hands and it feels better than ever - more pages, more stories, more magic.

We've got A. Cuthbertson, M.S. Jones, A.J. Bell, V.F. Witt (Achromous), Froskaz, and Tom Simpson, alongside a slew of artists and poets like Red Beard.

Also sprinkled throughout the site are some merch items 👀 and keep your eyes peeled for stream announcements!

I had a chitty-chat with the Cuthbertson Gnome about the newest Toadstool.

Merry Christmas from all at Toadstool Magazine! 🎅🍄

The day has come! Finally, I have earned the Telegram badge of honour and the right to say: there are scammers pretending to be me, I am probably not DMing you about the “great event” or crypto or anything. I’m much more likely to be DMing you about gnomes or squirrels.

I’m a bit offended it took them so long, to be honest.

Hope you’re all having a fantastic 2024 so far! 🍄
