You try to scoop up some of the mycelium with your spear, hoping it will keep its illuminating properties.
It does, indeed, at least for now. Once you have a thick enough layer wrapped around your spear, it radiates a decent amount of light, almost as much as a regular torch.
You decide to head back to the cave entrance, showing Napoleon what you've found.
Back at the entrance, he's happily welcoming you back, glad you didn't get eaten by something.
He's watching and listening with interest as you show him your new torch and tell him about the tunnel of mushroom-light.
"That sounds crazy, but I'm ready for anything by now!" he says.
When you are done talking, he tells you about his findings around the entrance.
While the tree you already know dominates this forest, there are at least two others able to stand their ground.
A few meters from the cave entrance, he found a tree with a very dark, almost black, bark and long, blue leaves with a hint of white.
A bit into the forest, he saw a tree with an extremely thick-looking, rough, brown bark. Its branches grow very high and its leaves are large and light blue.
The trees you already know have a very light, beigeish color and the leaves are tiny and dark blue.
"I didn't see any animals while you were inside, but I couldn't shake the feeling that I'm being watched..." he concludes with a slightly concerned look on his face.
"Well, if there is something watching, we will find out sooner or later", you respond.
Do you go back into the cave together or head back to camp? Or maybe you want to move your camp here? A cave would indeed be a nice place for a home, better than open grassland.
What do you do?
