What?! A garden full of mushrooms? A concept that makes my heart bloom! Alas, it needs moist. An opinion voiced: If only they could grow in my room.

Thank you to Agnes Laurens for challenging me with the poetry prompt:

Do you love mushrooms in your garden, or during the walk through the forest? Let me know if so, and how you enjoy or do not enjoy them.

If you choose to reply to this prompt, please do tag me in it so I can read it and share it on social media! Or, challenge me to a prompt here.

Hi I’m Lucy Dan 蛋小姐 (she/her/她) and I became interested in learning more about mushrooms after coming across the Netflix documentary: Fantastic Fungi. It was honestly such a wild documentary full of twists and turns and far-too-closeups of mushrooms that make my skin crawl, possibly because they mostly grow in places that are moist (also a word that makes my skin crawl). Yet, intrigued, I have now begun to follow / “join” the mushroom subreddit so that I can continue to learn and see more about mushrooms. ♥PS, I PUBLISHED A BOOK 📚

Hop down the rabbit hole? 🐰🕳
