The plan of Ed to uproot himself sounded good, but there was an obvious problem with it.
'I will lose contact with my mycelium network' That was no different from relinquishing ownership over his current cavern area. That was because there was no guarantee for the mushrooms to survive without him.
There was also the risk of the mushrooms simply not accepting him back after a while. Ed thought this one might be unlikely, but there were no guarantees.
'Fortunately, I can store away a good chunk of them' The only problem was that storing away some mushrooms also meant cutting down the attack force. The odds of his mushroom field surviving until his return would be lessened.
Ed proceeded to store away the mushrooms before finally turning to A, who had been waiting for his orders.
