Here’s an overview of the series, via Crunchyroll:
Champignon Witch follows the dark forest-dwelling Luna, who people fear is a black witch because poisonous mushrooms grow wherever she goes. As such, the townspeople call her the “Mushroom Witch.” However, despite never feeling any warmth from them, Luna begins to feel affection for them…? It’s a magical fantasy of love, adventure and emotions!
