The girl was stunned for a moment, then a helpless smile appeared on her face as she tapped her forehead. "Brother, where did you get those two mushrooms? They are rare ice and fire mushrooms, usually guarded by monsters at the eighth or ninth level, equivalent to the emperor realm or at least the Heaven King realm! So, how did you get something like that?" asked the old man's grandson to Xiao Chen with suspicion and an uneasy feeling in his body. "Hm? Earlier, when I was walking over there, I saw these two mushrooms. Well... there was someone guarding them, but he's dead, so it seems safe!" replied Xiao Chen after thinking about how to answer the old man's grandson's question.

I spotted the mushrooms on the table. Helen smacked me on the back and grumbled, “What are you staring at? Hurry up and wash them!” I hesitated and asked, “Helen, I don’t think I’ve ever seen you bring these mushrooms home before. Are you sure they’re not poisonous?” Predictably, Helen brushed me off with her usual disdain. “Look at you. You’re so clueless. These are rare termite mushrooms, perfect for making chicken broth. They’re incredibly nutritious! I went out before dawn to stake my claim, or someone else would’ve grabbed them already!

Cerelia joins her, graceful and curious as always. We serve the food and a beat of silence follows. Maybe they’ll love it. Cerelia takes a bite of the mushroom surprise first. She chews. And chews. And chews. “Mm,” she says carefully. “Earthy.” Hilda forks the same dish into her mouth and immediately gags. “It tastes like someone boiled socks in chicken broth.” Arlo scowls. “I sautéed those mushrooms.” Hilda laughs, “In what? Vengeance?” Erik nearly chokes on his wine. Chris bites his lip to hide a smile and Elliott doesn’t bother concealing his grin.

"Nova, I paid a fortune for these mushrooms. People online say if you eat them, you can see the answers to the SAT." The moment I opened my eyes, I saw my best friend, Elise Moore, excitedly holding a white-stemmed, red-capped mushroom in front of me. "When the exam day comes, I'll eat one of these. Getting into a top university will be effortless." The smug look in Elise's eyes made my whole body tremble with rage.

I made a small approving sound as I lifted my fork. “It looks so good, doesn’t it?” “Yes, delicious,” Logan responded. I cut a piece of meat along with a mushroom. It was a small piece of mushroom about the size of the tip of my thumb. It was small enough not to be noticed. I leaned across the table with the fork. “Try this. The kitchen really has outdone itself.” Logan opened his mouth. I fed him the mushroom.

I gasp, unable to believe what I’m tasting. “This is achtopa-tori, also called the ‘lying cook,’” the handsome man explains cryptically. “It’s a type of microscopic fungus that can deceive your brain and your taste buds. You imagine some food you once tried, something your brain still remembers the taste of. These fungi activate the memory cell that stores that flavor and let your brain recreate it when consuming this substance. Normally, I don’t eat mushrooms—they make my whole body itch like crazy—but these ones don’t trigger my allergies.” “Incredible,” I breathe out, amazed, and scoop some of that ‘cook’ myself, imagining cheesy pizza.

If the breeze is at your back, the animals will smell you before you even get close." He looked up, wide-eyed. "I forgot about the smell. Thanks, Liora!” Mia followed behind him, carrying a small basket, Lena was also behind her. I think they just got back from finding some herbs or roots. "Lena said these mushrooms are safe. She let me pick them all by myself."

Second Meeting: Next Day Scholar Li starts off the conversation, "After further experiments and research, there is no doubt that the mushroom poison is similar to that of the poisonous needles. Amatoxin-containing mushrooms. I have compared both the needle and the mushroom's symptoms based on a small dosage on myself." "Yourself?" I say, "Is that alright?" I-Is that why he is walking like a crab today?

" Lady Molly's POV It was foggy when I went outside looking for some edible mushrooms. Like the usual, I wore my cloak to protect my skin from the cold breeze and also to hide my own appearance if ever someone would spot me in here. Edible mushrooms cannot be found here in the North part of the forest. So, I have no other choice but to return to where our old cottage is. There are also lots of dried leaves on the floor but some of them are wet so it doesn't make any crunchy sounds at all. While walking towards an endless path, I have noticed a quiet nasty smell coming near me. It smells like rotten flesh and dead rats. Because of the fog that was hindering my line of sight, I can't figure ou

Only there weren't smoking caterpillars or bunnies chasing time, but big mountains made of ice cream rising in the west and flying winged books singing the tune of their people. The sky was dark but lit up by lamposts that seemed to live their own lives, jumping until suddenly growing teeth and mouths to swallow any nearby flying insects. "Well, that's just not right," I said, terrified. What the hell did I just walk into! The grass was green like it was back home, but what frightened me was the mushrooms.
