Kinoko is a small little dog. They aren;t bother by their size, as they ususally roam the forests in search of the prettiest and tastiest mushrooms.
And being much smaller than average does have it's perks! Hard ot reach places inbetween roots for example aren't that hard to reach for tiny smol paws! Though the higher up places are in fact hard to reach. So they bribe forest critter in order to help them out!

They also like to study mushrooms with Ellwood! and found themselves a pretty good friend in them! They love ot help her out with her studies to Ellwood's fur growing mushrooms!

Kinoko also always wears their hood and NEVER take it off. the reason why isn't really something they'd like to talk about appearenty, and ususally they'll just call it 'comfortable' and 'feel naked without it'.
