Life of mushrooms

Autumn forest is full of mushrooms!
If you happen to walk in the forest on a sunny September day, prowl quietly to a little sunlit glade.
We can be lucky to see an episode of mushrooms life!
On that glade there are some representatives of mushrooms families.
Here is a young but well-educated redcap boletus standing on a stump and telling his mushroom people about the harm of global warming!
Chanterelles-sisters are absolutely not interested in what redcap is speaking about – they are discussing forest gossip. The boletus is the oldest and wisest in the forest.
He knows everything and controls the order.
Redcap – boletus can say nothing new and important, in his opinion.
Young and green – he thinks.
Two honey-agarics forest merry-fellows prefer to play a game of cards.
They don’t care of global warming.
There comes a Fly-agaric with two companions.
Fly-agaric is a local Mafioso.
He has come to see if everything is ok in his forest.
Fly-agaric’s companions are two toadstools.
They are beauty contest winners of the west and east districts of the forest.
They don’t care of anybody in the forest at all.
What matters is that He – Fly agaric- is with them.
And only simpleton milk mushroom is very interested in what new the red cap boletus will say.
He always comes here to listen to red cap boletus.
He is so smart! – Milk mushroom thinks to himself.
