Chapter 41 Successfully avoiding edible fungi

The sky was still drizzling with no intention of stopping. Luo Wanyu thought that picking up mushrooms and holding an umbrella would affect her movements, so she put on a raincoat.

Carrying a small bamboo basket on his back and arming Tuanzi, he slowly walked up the mountain.

Aunt Zhang followed Luo Wanyu and dressed up in the same way as her.

She felt that her sense of existence was too low. Every time she appeared, she accompanied her boss up the mountain to pick up fungi.

"Aunt Zhang, do you know the mushrooms on the mountain?" Novice Xiaobai Luo Wanyu was also afraid that she would pick some poisonous mushrooms. After eating them, she would treat all the guests in the store to a table.

"Aunt Wu gave me a complete list of fungi." She also made complete preparations.

"Then let's not go to Zhushan today, let's go somewhere farther away."

It doesn't make sense that the scope of her activities after being here for so long is still in Zhushan.

I just happened to take advantage of the rain today and go out for a walk. I could pick up fungi and get familiar with the environment at the same time.

The autumn wind blew ruthlessly and hit me, causing a shiver. Goosebumps appeared on my arms hidden under my sleeves.

Yesterday's sunny day could melt people, as if it was just an illusion.

"It's raining if we go farther, so the mountain road may be difficult to walk." Aunt Zhang said it was true.

The road is inherently slippery on rainy days, and it will be even harder to walk on unmaintained roads in the mountains.

"It doesn't matter, we can walk slower." Luo Wanyu heard that the best time to pick up mushrooms is after rain.

She didn't want to miss it.

"Okay, I'll go ahead. Boss, follow me and be careful." Luo Wanyu has such thin arms and legs, Aunt Zhang is worried that she will bump into each other along the way.

Next, Luo Wanyu really experienced it again, climbing over a mountain and crossing a river.

Not a real river of course, but a winding creek. The stream is so clear that you can see small creatures swimming in it.

Someone came and frightened them, so they swam away quickly, causing ripples in the water.

The shadows of trees reflected on the water are twisted into various shapes.

"We're finally here." Luo Wanyu looked at the green mountains in front of her. This was not the airtight barren mountains she had imagined.

The free-growing wild grass is only half waist high, and the vines extending in all directions are entangled between the big trees, providing Luo Wanyu with help.

Aunt Zhang walked forward and held a stick to push aside the weeds blocking the road, creating a path for people to pass.

"Use a stick as a support. There are many plants here with tiny thorns on them. When they pierce into the flesh, they are not only painful, but also difficult to pull out."

Aunt Zhang saw Luo Wanyu grabbing the grass and using her strength to walk through the woods, and couldn't help but remind her.

"Hiss, it's too late." Luo Wanyu looked at the red dot on her palm. It was obvious that something was stuck in it.

Aunt Zhang returned to Luo Wanyu, pinched her open palm, "Let me take a look."

An obvious red spot appeared in the delicate white palm, and Aunt Zhang could see a small black thorn mixed with it when she looked closer.

"Fortunately, it's black. I'll pull it out for you. If the white thorns pierce into the flesh, you won't be able to see them, so you'll suffer."

"Thank you Aunt Zhang." Luo Wanyu didn't expect that she would be pricked before she even picked up the fungus. "I should have worn a pair of gloves."

The little girl looked at her hands aggrievedly, with a hint of annoyance in her words, which made Aunt Zhang feel pity in her heart.

"It's not too late to put them on now." Aunt Zhang gave Luo Wanyu a pair of her work gloves.

She always carries this thing with her, otherwise Luo Wanyu would have no use for it.

"Okay." Luo Wanyu's hands were small and she put on the gloves given by Aunt Zhang, but they were still empty.

But what does it matter?

She had already seen a few white fungi hidden under the tree in front of her. This was the first harvest of the day.

"There are fungi ahead, Aunt Zhang, let's go quickly."

Luo Wanyu was undoubtedly excited, and her voice was raised by two degrees, which startled the resting birds in the forest, and flew up with a rustle, bringing the withered yellow leaves with them to the ground.

The slender umbrella handle is trying its best to avoid the dead branches and leaves on the ground and grows outward. The white fungus umbrella leaves have been opened, like a flower blooming in the wilderness.

"Aunt Zhang, can you see if this fungus is edible?" Luo Wanyu wanted to pick it excitedly, but then remembered that she didn't know the fungus, so she had to ask Aunt Zhang for help.

"This is the Amanita amanita. It is poisonous and cannot be eaten."

Aunt Zhang has a guide to fungi, and she can tell at a glance that this fungus is inedible.

"It looks pretty, but I didn't expect it to be poisonous."

The three mushrooms grew white and big, which was a pity.

I heard about white umbrellas with red poles before, and I ate them while lying on the board. Now I have gained a lot of experience.

Seeing her disappointment, Aunt Zhang comforted her: "Don't be discouraged, boss. There must be something edible in there."

The mountain is so big, why worry about not having fungi to eat.

"You're right. We just came here and we're still on the outskirts. All good things must be hidden in the mountains."

The first wave of picking failed, and the two went back to the mountains.

Luo Wanyu saw a lot along the way, red, white, yellow, and gray.

Every time I go there excitedly, only to come back disappointed when I find that I can’t eat it.

[Bao, the mountain you gave me must be poisonous. There isn’t even an edible fungus on it. 】

Luo Wanyu complained about the system in her heart.

A mountain without fungi is unattractive, and the happiness will be reduced by half.

"Oh...oh..." A voice came from the tree above her head, and then Luo Wanyu's head was hit, and a green mass fell to the ground.

Luo Wanyu looked up. Aunt Zhang looked familiar at what hit Luo Wanyu, and bent down to pick it up.

On top of the head are two little monkeys with yellow-brown fur and big and bright eyes, like two black pearls.

One of them held a mushroom in his hand, which was the murder weapon used to hit Luo Wanyu.

The other hand held two green fruits, tilting his head to look at her and occasionally scratching the monkey next to her.

"Ouch..." Tuanzi took the lead and roared at the two monkeys above his head.

He also used his paws to pat the big tree where the monkey was squatting, as if he wanted to avenge Luo Wanyu.

"Why did you two hit me?" The system had said before that the little animals in the mountains were naturally fond of her and would not harm her.

Now being hit by two monkeys, Luo Wanyu also wants to know the reason.

"Oh...oh...oh..."

The little monkey barked randomly, but Luo Wanyu understood what it meant.

After understanding their meaning, Luo Wanyu's mood was not so beautiful.

The two little guys said she was stupid, she couldn't find a place to pick up mushrooms, and she perfectly avoided edible mushrooms every time.

They followed them all the way and watched anxiously, so they hit her with a fungus as a reminder.

"You two monkeys can still tell whether fungi are edible."

"Oh...oh...oh..." Of course, don't underestimate us.

Monkeys are active in this mountain all year round. They know all about the good things there, but because of their different habits, they ignore anything that does not suit their taste.

"Boss, it's green head fungus, it's edible."

What Aunt Zhang is holding is the fungus that the little monkey smashed into her. The fungus is green and has not yet opened. Now it can only be called the Q version of the green-headed fungus.

"Then do you know there are edible mushrooms there? Can you take us there?"

With Aunt Zhang's certification, Luo Wanyu immediately started asking for help from the two monkeys.

She didn't want to go up the mountain once and come back empty-handed.

The chances of finding edible fungi in the woods on her own were too slim.

They had been walking in the woods for almost two hours and didn't come across anything edible.
