Riding my bike through a forest on the outskirts, I see nothing but the trail I’m following. At most, I glance at my watch to check where I am with my 'goals.'

But today, this little red beauty caught my eye from afar. I had never seen a more beautiful mushroom. I never thought this existed outside the illustrations of Walt Disney’s fairy tales! But here it is.

It spoke to me with more than just its beauty. It told me that the air was clean, that the soil was soft, that the rains that had fallen all night weren’t acidic from industrial pollution... Otherwise, it would have hesitated to emerge from the ground, right in my path!
