Enter the explorer, the giantess of ebony and ivory tones, with a truly confused and bewildered expression. This was definitely not here when she'd been living with her mother. Dual toned optics peered about the cavern, taking in the sight of the strange, glowing fungi. Slowly, she would step closer to them, entering the bluish halo of bioluminescence. Her dark sensor would drop to sniff the strange thing, and get a snoot full of dirt and spores. Sneezing and coughing on the nasty aroma, she would back up a few steps and rub her single ebony paw against her snout. Alright, noted. Don't sniff the glowing mushrooms. She mulled, shaking the last remnants of the scent and irritation from her nostrils.

Once more she would step forward, reaching out an experimental paw to tentatively poke the plant. It responded like any other mushroom would, thick stalk bending to the side under her touch. Her crown would tilt to the side, and lower once more to examine it closely. Applying more pressure, the head of the mushroom was now laying sideways against the ground, the edge pressed against the cool, damp stone. Even more force was put behind her ivory pedestal, and the elastic stalk snapped in half. Slowly, the glow began to fade. Curiosity and wonder sparkled in her odd pools, and she bent further to examine the plant. The light from it faded slower than the life left an animal when it was bleeding, dimming by tiny increments.

She stood for who knows how long, watching the light in the mushroom die, and when the thing went out, looking like a normal mushroom amid all it's superior glowing cousins, she straightened. Some of these mushrooms were enormous, the ones further into the cave, near the middle of the massive space, might even be big enough to act as a cushion. Would the big ones support her weight? Only one way to find out! Trotting carefully amid the land mines of the glowing fungi, she headed further into the cavern.

The oldest ones must be here, these mushrooms were astoundingly large. Rearing up onto her hind legs, she dropped her forepaws onto one and watched carefully. There was enough space to hold her paws, and some of the glow was still visible. Applying more pressure and weight, she found it dipping beneath her. Too bad, it might have been fun to sit on the mushroom and act like she was queen of the mushroom kingdom. It might be more fun though, if her subjects were actually alive in the way she was. Maybe. With a huff, the femme dropped her forepaws back onto the ground and padded along through the labyrinth of fungi.

Where had this place come from? What could have happened to the island to make this cavern appear, and so many other things. She didn't remember some of these places being there before, but she was young, her memory could have been faulty. Looking about, she continued to wander in a world of her own. Part of her was looking for any other strange glowing objects, like light up rats or something equally interesting, and possibly edible. The lass didn't want to chance the mushrooms being toxic, and left them be.
