once a farmer had a dog...

Bancha was so engrossed by examining the fungi that he didn't hear his sister walk right up beside him. Startling with a quiet yelp, he takes a step back and catches his breath. "Tsuki," the pup says breathlessly, his face turning from fear to happiness at the sight of her, lips pulling up into a smile and his curled tail wagging behind him. Once he's recovered, he turns back to the mushroom he'd been inspecting and that Tuski had inquired about.

"Well, from what papa mentioned about fungi, I think he said if it's a weird color that we probably shouldn't touch it," his face scrunches up as he looks from the mushroom to their surroundings. He notices the blossoming pink flowers, the wildflowers spread around the trunks of blues and purples, even his sister with her splotches of red. What was considered unusual? It seemed here, where they stood, unusual colors were... normal so was the mushroom safe?
