In case you missed it, we recently gave you the scoop on the latest art installation headed to the Holy City. We’re going to bright the bullet and let y’all know that you won’t want to miss this.

Here’s the low-down: Charleston Parks Conservancy’s Art in the Park program is relaunching with more than 100 hand-sculpted, illuminated mushrooms created by NC artist Meredith Connelly at Hampton Park this Saturday through December 11.

Our interest was already piqued, but this behind-the-scenes footage has us even more excited to catch “Mushrooms,” featuring 8-12thermoplastic glowing mushrooms. Is anyone else getting an ASMR vibe from this video? Don’t say it’s just us.

Check out mushroom-inspired events happening at Hampton Park and the Gibbes Museum of Art.
