One day Mr. and Ms. Mushroom walked down Chanteralley. Surprisingly there were no chanterelles but humans growing out of the green stretches along the pavement.

Reading the Mothly Gazette

Later that day when Mr. Mushroom came back home to read the Mothly Gazette he stumbled upon a scientific article about a breakthrough in humanology. Scientists at the Morel Society had figured out that humans are part of the realm of conscious species. They apparently are capable of displaying emotions and react to their environment just like fungi do. For the longest time humans were classified as purely physical phenomena like storms or earthquakes. They just moved around so quickly and randomly destructive that it was hard to see the world through their perspective. Who would have known? Mr. Mushrooms mind was blown to mushroom clouds and he told his wife to share the great news…

His wife took a disinterested look at it and said: “Instead of reading this esoteric nonsense you should maybe bring out the trash, how about that?”

Mr. Mushroom didn’t like her attitude at all and decided that he should engage himself deeper in the realms of humanology, well after he dumped the trash in the neighbors backyard.

So he took it upon himself to have a closer look at those strange humans in Chanteralley. To his surprise not only were the chanterelles gone but also the humans. What had happened to them?
