“Oooh! What’s that?”
Some kind of fungus. Let me look it up in the field guide.
“I kind of want to put it in my mouth.”
No. Don’t eat it. It could be poisonous.
“I’m not going to eat it. I just want to… I don’t know, cup it my hands and maybe just kiss it or something. It looks like it could use some cheering up.”
Well, don’t put your mouth on it. You don’t want to ingest any secretions.
“Don’t worry. If anything gets in my mouth, I won’t swallow. I’ll just spit it out.”
