Actually, Ed had to issue a small correction to his previous thought. There wasn't just one network, there were in fact two new networks.
One was a network of roots, and another a new network of mycelium. It was easy to guess who was at fault for the roots but the other mycelium network was anyone's guess.
'Is it coming from me?' The obvious answer was no. After all, if it was his he'd know so.
'Wait… Who said I was the only mushroom on this layer of the dungeon?' Ed had passed his time as a mushroom as a local tyrant but it was possible he was just a frog in a well.
The dungeon had yet to put him in any body that could be described as 'unique'. He was stronger than the common mob but he wasn't an entirely new race.
This conclusion made sense but Ed also couldn't shake the feeling that he was somehow responsible for this development. Was it familiarity with this foreign network that led him to think so?
