The Garden Of Madness

- Toadstools

"It seems to be a natural cave with an uneven floor and rough walls. Although the roof is no more than twenty feet above you, the cave seems to stretch quite a long way ahead and to your right, sloping gradually away from you, while on your left the wall of the cave is very damp, with small trickles of running water here and there.

All the available floor space, and the lower parts of the walls, are covered with various fungi. There are large toadstools in shades of purple and red, and low, spreading growths of green and yellow which are slightly phosphorescent."
