Chapter 34

I first tried the spore idea obviously because if I tried to inject my mushrooms with water until they burst then I couldn’t get it to spawn water-filled spores.

And I tried that, filling my spores with water, but I had to strike a balance between filling the spore with just enough water to actually get it picked up by the wind and not filling it with so much it simply just dropped on the ground.

While having a raining mushroom sounded bad ass and saturating the ground with water would definitely help with the fire, the main reason I was even doing this was to have the water-filled spores spread further away from me and saturate the ground there.

But striking that balance, while that still felt possible, was also time intensive and I needed results quick as I didn’t know when the fire would reach me.

If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

So I didn’t.

Saturating the ground with water around only the mushroom still felt like a solid plan. I would work on perfecting the method later on, when I survive …

If.

I couldn’t think about that though I had to work on the plan.

Water bursting mushrooms seemed like a stellar plan but it would interfere with the water filled spores.

What if I still filled all my mushrooms with just enough water that they still functioned as normal but wouldn’t take as long for it to burst when the fire was upon them?

Yeah that’s absolutely brilliant. I went forward with that.

As for the final plan of having my mycelium sensory network release water, it was quite straight forward really.

The whole sensory network was fairly large though so it would take a bit.

In fact with all this much needed water I think growing several pathways to and from the water source was vital to get this done quickly.

Hopefully all this effort will all be worth it in the end.
