Aya, standing beside her, flinched and quickly tossed the mushroom away. She then began wiping her hands on her Beast Skin clothes.
Wu Yue stepped forward and picked up the mushroom, its cap already crushed from the abuse. "There are many kinds of mushrooms," she said seriously. "This type isn't poisonous, but many of the brightly colored, beautiful ones will poison you if you eat them."
The two young women, who were practically Wu Yue's fangirls, had absolute faith in her abilities. They immediately began pestering her to teach them how to identify mushrooms.
In the end, the three of them actually managed to gather three full baskets of mushrooms to take back. Later, they enjoyed a pot of incredibly delicious mushroom soup at Wu Yue's home.
The rain during the light rainy season wasn't as intense as during the heavy one, but sunny days were a rarity.
At noon, the three of them sliced the mushrooms they had gathered and laid them out to dry on grass mats.
