Discover the legend behind one of the world's most beloved mushrooms, in this original story about the origins of the morel each year. Tiny woodland people, known as the Morchella, grow and care for the morel, using their mushroom spores in magical ways.
However, another clan of evil elves, known as the Gyromitra, try to steal their mushrooms and their magical spores. Lacking the good magic of the Morchella, the Gyromitra find that they can only grow ugly, inedible mushrooms. The Morchella people must find a way to continue growing the morels despite the challenge of sharing the woods with the Gyromitra.
Clay animation characters in the natural world bring this unique story to life, allowing children to contemplate the mysteries and wonder that live within the forest.
