Fungi anthology

I have a story in the up-coming Fungi anthology. Focused on horror of a mycological variety, Fungi is edited by Silvia Moreno-Garcia and Orrin Grey. They just released the contributor list a couple days ago:

Ann K. Schwader, “Cordyceps zombii”
A.C. Wise, “Where Dead Men Go to Dream”
Andrew Penn Romine, “Last Bloom on the Sage”
Camille Alexa, “His Sweet Truffle of a Girl”
Chadwick Ginther, “First They Came for the Pigs”
Daniel Mills, “Dust From a Dark Flower”
Ian Rogers, “Out of the Blue”
Jane Hertenstein, “Wild Mushrooms”
Jeff Vandermeer, “Corpse Mouth and Spore Nose”
John Langan, “Hyphae”
Julio Toro San Martin, “A Monster In The Midst”
Kris Reisz, “The Pilgrims of Parthen”
Laird Barron, “Gamma”
Lavie Tidhar, “The White Hands”
Lisa M. Bradley, “The Pearl in the Oyster and the Oyster Under Glass”
Molly Tanzer and Jesse Bullington, “Tubby McMungus, Fat From Fungus”
Nick Mamatas, “The Shaft Through The Middle of It All”
Paul Tremblay, “Our Stories Will Live Forever”
Polenth Blake, “Letters to a Fungus”
Richard Gavin, “Goatsbride”
Simon Strantzas, “Go Home Again”
Steve Berman, “Kum, Raúl (The Unknown Terror) – b. 1925, d. 1957”
W.H. Pugmire, “Midnight Mushrumps”

I know you're looking at that list and thinking, "Wow, what a bunch of fun guys!" (see what I did there?) But you get even more with the hardcover edition. It will include additional artwork plus three extra stories.

E. Catherine Tobler, “New Feet Within My Garden Go”
J.T. Glover, “The Flaming Exodus of the Greifswald Grimoire”
Claude Lalumière, “Big Guy and Little Guy’s Survivalist Adventure”

Fungi will be out this fall. In the meantime, the editors are assembling a database of fungal fiction--everything from poems to TV episodes--from the vilest mushroom monster to the humblest alien spore. You can help, or just see what's on the list so far, here.
