mushroom houses

Toadstool-shaped homes

Mushroom houses are whimsical dwellings designed to resemble oversized mushrooms, with domed or conical roofs suggesting caps.

The term appears in fantasy fiction, children's stories, and video games as homes for fairies, gnomes, or other small creatures.

In architecture, it describes actual buildings built in this fanciful style, often as novelty homes or tourist attractions: The Smurfs lived in mushroom houses.
