Fungiverse grows into a collection of creativity

Dinosaur Design celebrates the launch of their new fungi inspired range with the Fungiverse, created by Circul8. It’s not hard to get inspiration from mushrooms, especially if you learn about their amazing qualities. For example, did you know that one of the oldest living organisms on the planet is a 2,400 year old honey mushroom growing beneath Oregon. Fungus is a life saver, Penicillin is derived from fungi and has saved hundreds of millions of lifes over the past century. And did you know that some truffles emit the same odour as pig testicles!

Users can create their own mushrooms, resulting in totally unique, Dinosaur Designs inspired fungi. Everyone’s is different and reflects their personallity in some way. So get your fungi on!
