It wanted to start moving around and start discovering new things immediately, so the mushroom tried to move, but discovered it can't, it felt like its feet? Body? Whatever it is called, was connected to the very soil surrounding it, to the very earth, and it wouldn't let go.
This wasn't just the earth keeping it rooted in place, as a matter of fact, its body was linked to the very ground surrounding it, as delicate glowing green roots can be seen underneath the surface, they were directly connected to our little friend, yet the mushroom had no idea.
Surprisingly, these roots weren't taking energy from the soil, as immense energy was already in the roots, this energy wasn't dispersing, nor was it taking, it just… existed; in the ground.
If one were to take a closer look, they would notice it wasn't glowing itself, but the roots were in fact see-through!
Thousands, if not, millions of tiny, little orbs of green light floated in these roots freely, giving off the impression of glowing, some parts of the roots were empty, leaving the impression of glowing that was not too strong or weak.
Even though this energy was doing nothing but existing in the roots, the mere presence of them caused the surrounding life to flourish in energy, allowing the grass above to grow at an amazing rate; plants don't grow fast enough to be witnessed, yet the grass surrounding our little friend was growing so much that it was conceivable to the naked eye!
Of course, the little one noticed, but it didn't think of it at the moment as it currently was trying to find a way to start moving.
Every time it tugged its body trying to move, the roots below would shine brighter; the rate of growth to the grass surrounding him would speed up for that brief second, which escaped its attention as the shroom twisted & turned.
The actual reason these roots were here since they weren't going to take energy from the surroundings was to stabilize its own energy.
This new living being just came into existence hours ago, so the new unusually high concentration of energy in its body was unstable, for regular existences like humans, animals, etc, they were born with their energy in check, but this little mushroom was far from a 'normal existence', first off, the amount of energy in its body was off the charts, it was born with a truly absurd amount, the value would have fried one's body if they didn't understand how it worked and it went out of control, yet, its body was handling it without a problem, even before the roots were made, the energy wasn't harming it in any way despite being chaotic, this meant one thing, the current amount of energy in its body is minimal compared to the maximum amount it can hold!
This meant that the true amount it could hold is absolutely insane as the amount now is just plain humongous for one that just came into existence.
Of course, the little one still had no clue about any of this.
After a fair bit of struggling, it gave up trying to free itself, it was only then it finally felt something, it felt…warm, cozy.
It closed its eyes and focused on this feeling, and sure enough, these were its roots underground, although it only knew there was a part of its body underground.
The tiny shroom was surprised, how did it not notice these before, it felt their coursing energy, and when it felt that same energy around them that was stirring…
It opened its eyes and looked at the grass around him, at this point, it was approaching his eye level, and it was going to obstruct this wonderful view if he didn't do anything about it, so the shroom tried to concentrate the energy in his roots, at first, nothing happened, but then, the grass surrounding it finally stopped growing rapidly, and returned to a normal pace, well, mostly...the mushroom couldn't do it perfectly after all.
It was at this point it finally took notice of just how much energy flowed through whatever was keeping him stuck, it was shocked to feel each individual orb of life energy flow calmly, it felt natural, like… home?
It was then it recognized the energy.
Previously, while his brain was in an absolute panic, the energy in the mushroom was anarchic, he realized that was probably an additional factor to why he couldn't think straight earlier.
The little shroom wondered what truly stopped his disordered state, then, he thought of the things in the ground keeping him stuck, his roots.
"Did they stop my confusion?"
It made sense in its head, with the extra room the roots created, it had more space to run around and be chaotic, which would let it calm down just as fast.
To make sure, it checked all of the energy in the roots, and just as he assumed, all of the energy was in a calm, normal state.
"But if my guess is correct, then why do they still exist?"
He suddenly thought of something, and, with purpose, felt for any more of that chaotic feeling running throughout the rest of his body; most of the life energy felt calm, but there were still small chunks of it that was still in a disorganized state, he noticed how this energy was flowing towards the connection between his roots and his body.
"So I was right, the chaotic energy is heading for my roots to exert itself and calm down, while the calm energy is even starting to flow back into my body."
Since the energy was returning to his body, the last of the chaotic unorganized energy was entering its roots, there already were a few that were completely empty and recoiling back into his body.
The translucent empty green roots were already starting to deconstruct, from the tip to where they connected to the base of his body, they became particles as they coalesced, the unmaking process only took a couple of second before the batch of particles were absorbed into his body, as if they never existed to begin with.
"With the last of the unorganized energy starting to calm down, the rest of the roots should completely disappear soon, all I need to do now is wait."
So, it waited; it wasn't like it couldn't do anything during all that time, it just continued to enjoy taking in the beautiful nature surrounding it and checked up on its energy every now and then.
•••
It was like this until night started to bleach the edges of the sky, which was when the mushroom noticed something.
Earlier, it checked out what it looked like: its main body was a shining white color, like the sun, while its cap was a luminous light green, with white spots all over, it even noticed it was emitting a green glow and was just barely translucent, making it look ethereal, but now, as the sun went away, its body was changing, the earlier white was now taking on a black color, like the night, while the light green was taking on a shade of dark green, all of it was matching just how dark the night was, the translucence staying as is.
"Well, this is…cool?"
Even its glow was more noticeable in the night, which was an added bonus.
It was right at this moment that the shroom felt something close up, and it suddenly felt like it was no longer constricted, so it checked and just as he previously thought, his roots were now completely gone, and all of his energy has finally calmed down and was in his body.
"I can finally start moving", it thought, and just like that, it took its first...step?
It didn't exactly have feet, so at best, it shifted its body forward… and fell on its face through the long blades of grass.
And with that…
Our little mushroom's journey finally begins!
