The Fungus Among Us

I was watching the Science Channel the other day while I was crocheting, and the show, "How It's Made" was on. I was just kinda listening to it in the background as I was crocheting, when a segment come on about how mushrooms are grown. This got my attention, so I put down my crochet and started watching. All in all, it was pretty fascinating, but the part that really caught my attention was when the narrator mentioned that mushrooms need lots of oxygen to grow. That like humans, the intake oxygen and expel carbon dioxide. Where as green plants take in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen. This just seemed to spark something creative in my mind....what if mutant space mushrooms took over the Earth?

So that is how the idea for this story came to be. I now introduce you to my next attempt at trying to write a complete short story....
