Kraina Grzybów TV (English: Mushroom Land TV) is a YouTube channel created by Polish artist Wiktor Stribog mainly focused on a hauntological 5-part horror series entitled Poradnik Uśmiechu (English: Smile Guide). The channel was created on December 23, 2013 with the first episode of Smile Guide being uploaded the same day. Since then, the Smile Guide series has become very popular with each episode ranging from half a million to almost 3 million views each and the channel as a whole garnering over 96,400 subscribers as of September 23, 2019.

The Smile Guide series itself is presented as a children's instructional television series broadcast from the fictional titular Mushroom Land TV and hosted by a young girl named Agatha and her companion, a squirrel named Małgosia (English: Maggie). As the series progresses, more characters are introduced including the antagonistic Jeansman and Agatha's unnamed mother, whose appearances are presented as news interviews. Another component of the series is a mysterious place called Mushroom Land which, according to information provided by the series in the form of a fictional early 19th century poem, superficially resembles an easily accessible, inviting "sunny field" that upon entering causes the individual to experience "the weep and parting".
