There’s one huuuge piece missing from the Farcaster community.

Our own mascot.

Consider this an unofficial call for our own unofficial mascot!

What do you propose for a Farcaster (the protocol + ecosystem) mascot?

I’ll start—

This is Myke the Mushroom.

Mushrooms are the visible parts of an unseen, decentralized network of fungal mycelium.

Some fungi will even form networks with tree roots, allowing both plants and fungi to communicate and share resources with each other. Good analogy, eh? https://i.imgur.com/leQkOzX.jpg

Thanks! This was very likely influenced by my love of mushrooms. But I also feel like the analogy is a pretty good fit, too.

Thanks!
