[He's also amused at himself.]

It is! Such a relief in case things get bad.

[Then, more excitedly.]

I felt magic properly for the first time! It was amazing! It's everywhere!

[Oh, he's gone on a tangent.]

[actuallyawolf]

You come from a world without magic, huh?

[She has to feel sorry for him for that, anyway.]

It is everywhere. Or it should be.

[pineapplesalmon]

... I'm no longer sure it doesn't. I discovered the laws of the universe were malleable in a way that, well. Magic's a possibility!

[A laugh] No one from back home would expect me to be a druid. But it feels right.

[actuallyawolf]

Well, even where I'm from, and I think here too, there's different types of magic. Maybe this one does exist anywhere there's life, even if no one knows how to use it.

[She kind of hopes so, honestly.]

[pineapplesalmon]

Makes sense. There are already so many different types of non-magical forces. Why shouldn't there be multiple types of magic? The idea's comforting.

[So does he.]

Anyway, like I wanted to talk about. Mushrooms! I'd like to brainstorm figure out what would be needed to get the kits started sometime in April or May for later in the year.

[actuallyawolf]

Oh, like... mushroom farms? I could harvest some spores for you, but you need to give it something to eat. Wood, maybe? You need a happy fungus if it's going make mushrooms for you. I don't know how farmers do that.

[pineapplesalmon]

Helping me take a look at it out in the field and showing me how it grows would probably help me figure that out. But one that could grow off of wood could make it a lot easier to deal with.

[actuallyawolf]

I can do that. I can at least help you find a mushroom that would do okay on your farm. Some of them wouldn't, you know, but some would. Maybe oysters? I think most people like oysters.

[pineapplesalmon]

Oysters are pretty good. Enough people would be interested in those that they'd actually keep their mushrooms going. You'd get however many kits you'd want from this yourself, too.

[actuallyawolf]

I mean, it would be handy to have mushrooms growing nearby.

[Ah! Agriculture! It continues to have advantages!]

[pineapplesalmon]

Exactly. Sometimes you just want to be able to go into your basement and grab some mushrooms.

[Many!]

[actuallyawolf]

Okay. We should, um, meet soon. We can go looking for mushrooms that would work. Right?

[pineapplesalmon]

Yes, it would! Mushroom hunting with you is a lot of fun, beyond just it being druid training.
