A wonderful story, per usual and I love the science behind it. It's amazing how a fungi or mushroom can be miles wide sending up it's bits and bobs here and there in their cute little forms.
I agree, don't let anyone or anything eat Mariposa, she must be safe and snug!
Thank you so much! At first I thought I should make something more mystique, but finally it turned into a children's story. Well, inspiration doesn't always work the way you want it to, I am sure you know that ;)
And of course I wouldn't hurt Mariposa, she is a message of hope and patience in this story, patience that gets justified in the end! :)
