Mushroom With A Mustache

I met a funny-looking mushroom in Cerok Tokun this morning: it grew a white mustache! I would want to know the reason on this extra-ordinary phenomenon.

"Every great man has a mustache." It answered with a broad grin.

That seemed not to be a good answer to me, so I poked and pried further, "Really?"

"Don't you think I am as sexy as Santa?"

I touched my smooth chin thinking of quoting someone greater. I gave up after a quick thought.

A daydream did make the mushroom feeling very high.

    Hmmm... it looks like a white fur scarf too. It depends on the gender, I guess.

    That is very weird. Never saw anything like that growing by a mushroom here. You do find the most interesting things Rain....and the photos are always so amazing.

    If it is Christmas time, I'll think of Santa Claus. What a nice name, 'Moustache Mushrooms'!

    It's really looking funny. One thing I should say you, that is you have a good eye.

    I think it spotted the latest fashion, fur on the coat collar! Rainfield, very unique indeed, maybe you are the first to have discovered this moustached mushroom. Imagine that, a new discovery named after you, the founder!

    I went to photograph mushrooms yesterday too, but your mushroom seems to be quite wise and smart to be able to answer your questions.

    I think you encountered an ancient elder mushroom, who could have answered all your questions about life, the hereafter, etc, had you but stayed and visited for awhile.
