Nature Wizard Chester Catmaster

Chester CatMaster, a nature wizard, cast a few spells upon some lazy lizards; chanting “Meow-chi-nik-de-nook-do-kangi”, he turned them into various fungi. There were Buttons and ake, Puffballs, Polypores and maitake; Hedgehog, Earpiks and Penny Buns, Old Chester was having so much fun. Chester had given them legs of their own, around and around him, they all did roam. He held onto their roots like little leashes, this sight left me quite shockingly speechless. There he stood with the fungi all dancing around, I believe he considered them to be little clowns. Then he did something that had me surprised, he planted them into the ground and fertilized. Turned their legs into roots that held them in place, I looked and he had a huge smile on his face. He said he was planting a yard full of trees, the fungi helped them to communicate with ease. Warding off dangerous insects is vital; fungi are helping trees do it in cycles. Chester CatMaster is simply the best; his Fungi will always outdo the rest.

Kudos for your imagination and creative spirits, MLK. I like where you took your theme--planting yard full of trees.
