Chapter 160

The project in the clearing itself was doing just dandy. With all the extra nutrients from the surrounding area how couldn’t it?

Still, I couldn’t help but feel anxious and stressed whenever I thought too deeply on my work there.

At any second and at any moment the forest could descend on my poor mycelium and annihilate it. The good news there, however, was that most of myself was concentrated back in elder’s territory. One quick disconnect and I could more or less escape my slaughter.

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

After I realized my presence there was at a delicate balance I made sure the mycelium I was using there were very thin. They were adequate in distributing nutrients but they could have been made more efficiently.

I would worry over leaving any of myself there in case it developed into the devouring mushroom they all feared, but in that scenario they just tried to kill me. At some point pacifism would only result in my death.

Elder wouldn’t deserve that though. It’s been an asshole ever since it introduced itself to me but there was i don’t know a glimmer of kindness there that I would be sad to see go.

I suppose I could leave a very fine mycelium line back to it when and if I ever had to escape. It could alert me if it needed my help.

Enough of this doom and gloom though I want to talk to buttons and the pain mushroom.
