The Mushroom is a story of Robert Hamlin, "an ordinary man," set in our current American culture. He's someone with whom most men can identify, at least on some levels. He is a good-hearted man who loves his wife and his job, but soon finds his life in complete and utter ruin, despite his best efforts. When your masculinity is slowly eaten away, it becomes hard to move. His love and kindness go unnoticed and his career is jeopardized by the selfish conniving actions of others, leaving him stranded in a world with no options. He soon finds himself in the fight of his life, but not against terrorists or wild beasts. He must fight for the will to live. Finding the will to get up one more morning was all he needed to turn his world around. A new sunrise and a special mushroom will provide him with extraordinary powers, skills and visions of the past, present, and future, which will change his life forever.
