rot blossom.

duders,
i found this:

yuuuup.
some kind of doomsday death flower,
blooming on the grounds of the Fortress.
la flora de muerte?
i think so.
maybe not.
what could it be?
an omen?
a hard-style harbinger?
a mushroom?
an allergen-activated allegory?
i'll bet at least one of those is definitely true, kids.
uh-huh.
there are shelves of 'shrooms sliding out sideways
from the sheer faces of so many different places:

turkey tail explosions abound, friends.
so expert.
teeming overlaps on ALL the tree stumps.
they supposedly are good for you.
i'm not about to start munching up on 'em just yet.
i prefer to poison myself the old fashioned way-
with misplaced hope and delusional optimism.
ummmm.....
anyway,
we've got so many minky, mincey, mushy 'rooms
ruminating in this rich, loamy dirt the woodsly goodness
seems to provide as convenient fodder and feed
for their super-mario kingdom.
i haven't found a 1-UP yet, though, neighbors.
awwwwwww, man!!
turns out, in real life,
you can't collect enough coins to buy an extra life.
this is all you get.
nice to see us all making the most of it.
right?
mm-hmm.
but on the other other hand, b!tches-
you can get more poultry-type myconids to show up, though.
real talk,
the ugliest orange-sliced discs all up in this forest,
laying about like bumps on a log.
teleport:

i'm almost positive this is an edible variety.
however,
i'm not about to bite down on that slimy slab of
slug-slathered, spongy, spore-spitting steak fungus.
(mostly because i made it sound gross)
i'm sayin',
being 'pretty sure' just isn't close enough in this case, kids.
blown-out buttholes and neurotoxic brainfires aren't
the way i'd prefer to pass this friday nighttime.
especially not due to some caveman forager trial and error sh!t.
i doo-doo a lot,
but not intentional fast-poops and projectile puke partying.
for sure.
then again,
it all kind of depends on what alternatives present themselves
as better options for spanning time on a warm september evening.
i guess we'll see how it goes.
***********
i've got black and grey wings on the tattbombing zipzap menu.
twice.
in a row.
on unrelated individuals.
yeah.
i'm pulling ahead on the victory scale for certain.
hard styles and black spikes are tag-teaming up to try
and take a shot at the title.
don't worry, my ninjas-
my styles are harder;
never quiet, never soft.....
