How to Care for a Mushroom

By: Tirado, Victor Hugo

An Intimate Reflection on a Love That Withers in Silence Amid Emotional Blindness in a Couple

Freddie comes home every night seeking the comfort of routine, but one day he finds only silence, an empty table, and a small potted mushroom. What seems like an absurd detail becomes his sole confidant: an unmoving fungus to which he pours out his exhausting days, work frustrations, and fading memories of a shared life he no longer fully notices.

As Freddie unburdens his weariness before this silent, perfect presence-one that never judges, never demands, never leaves-Annie's absence grows enormous in the shadows of the house, though he has long stopped seeing it. A short, introspective, and devastating novel about love that withers quietly, postponed conversations, and the tiny cracks that eventually bring everything down.

How to Care for a Mushroom is a deeply human reflection on emotional blindness, the invisible wear and tear of long-term relationships, and what happens when we stop truly looking at the person beside us. Contemporary introspective fiction, minimalist and emotionally raw. Perfect for readers who love honest, soul-touching literary novels.
