Chapter 3

Okay ruminating on it more, while funny, I don’t think that would be the move.

I need to survive so yes I’ll have to grow more mushrooms to spread more of myself but I can’t draw attention to myself right now. My main goal right now should be to reach the ground. If my mycelium reaches the ground I stand more of a chance to survive if there were ever a fire in this forest.

Am I in a forest though?

I mean I’m just assuming I really don’t know I could be in some farm of mushrooms specifically designed to be consumed by intelligent people.

If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.

Would that be bad though? Thinking about it logically, it would put me in a more advantageous position. Yeah my mushrooms would be regularly taken from me but I would be protected and encouraged to grow exponentially.

I’d be basically a food factory but I’d get to live right?

On second thought that sounds like a horrible place to be. Living at the whim of some unknowable creature is not a good time.

Either way my first goal is clear. Whether I’m in a farm or in a forest reaching the outer edges of my log should tell me whether it’s soft loamy soil or a sturdy container of some kind.

This is gunna take some time not that I can keep track of it. Mushrooms don’t really keep track of time. However I think I can keep time in an unorthodox manner. Since I’m doing it either way, I can keep track of time growing one mushroom and measure whatever task I’m doing by that. This means I’ll have to grow my mushrooms one by one while doing whatever else I’m doing.

This is gunna take some time to get used to but I’m not doing anything else.

I’m totally growing a huge mushroom eventually though.
