Finding what is lost

She noticed the strange scent and attributed it to the mushrooms. The glow was enchanting and... He nearly blended in with his dark inky black and brilliant blues. She cased the ground, looking for any trails that had disturbed the mushrooms recently, or not recently. She noticed a few clusters had withered near the ground, losing their light. Hm...

She could see why Charlie might have come here... But these... must be the bioluminescent mushrooms, they couldn't be phosphorescent like the glowing pigments in the book she had borrowed from the hallows. These would have been useless in crafting anything. There was a tang to the air, moist earth, and crazy fungi.

Suddenly she felt his paw stroke her back, starting something within her. He had never seen anything like this either? Incredible! She huffed a laugh through her nose and shook her head at his question, "From my knowledge, a lot of mushrooms in caves are best left alone. I wouldn't chance it, some of the most toxic poisons out there come from cave mushrooms. There's a few edible ones, but none of them looked like these." She mentioned looking up at him. The glow of the fungal stars reflected off his coat as if he were part of the cave itself. The sight of him made her draw her breath. They were... so far away from home.
