But before she could say much more he was off again, as easily distracted as a squirrel that one - albeit not unlike most boys his age. Still, she stood and followed him over to the little patch of mushrooms. "Hmmm...I don't recognize that kind of mushroom.

Instead, she looked up along the tree line that edged the tar pits, grinning when she saw something she did recognize. "You see that reddish mushroom growing on the tree there? Now that one is definitely edible. It's called Reishi and it has calming properties in healing." she said.
