Thank you to everyone who has helped me with collecting the items for this gallery! You are ALL fabulous!

Long ago, in a deep corner of the Haunted Woods, lived a brilliant talking mushroom known as The Apothecary. He assisted Haunted Woods residents in ways similar to Kauvara, except that he grew and sold exotic mushrooms instead of mixing and selling potions. These amazing mushrooms made it possible for pets to heal themselves, train quickly, poison enemies, and eat extremely well all without leaving their ghostly home.

Then, one day early in the Month of Running, the Apothecary suddenly disappeared. He packed up his mushrooms and abandoned his shop, never to be seen again. Some Haunted Woods residents speculate that he is away on an extended research trip to the jungles of Mystery Island, hoping to learn about new mushroom varieties. Whatever happened, he never came back. New mushrooms have been discovered all over Neopia since, most notably in the Faerieland clouds, but none of them are quite the same, or quite as powerful, as the species that The Apothecary cultivated.

This gallery now holds at least one specimen of (nearly!) all of the mushrooms of Neopia, in homage to the long-missing Apothecary. Above you can see the few elusive ones that I am still missing.

The images and design for this gallery were made and coded by me, almostcasandra. I had some coding help from Kaikuto's page, too, mostly around the positioning of the divs. Thanks!
