Mayor Godenot
In an impassioned speech at Laveau Square last evening, Mayor Henri Godenot called upon the good folk of the community to come to his aid.
“Dear citizens of New Toulouse,” he said, “I need your help. While looking for meteorite chunks from last week’s sighting, I found some strange mushrooms. I sent some to a science lab, and they strongly recommended that we remove all of these mushrooms from the area.”
Turning to an assistant, he took a pair of tongs and used them to remove a mushroom from a lidded container. The remarkable specimen had an eerie green glow in the dusk. “Please do your part to help search for these undesirable fungi,” said Godenot. “If every resident finds twenty mushrooms, we should be able to get them all. And in cooperation with the Bureau of Scientific Inquiry and several members of the community, the City is prepared to offer rewards.”
The mayor’s office shared with us the content of a letter from the laboratory, which we reproduce here on page 12.
If you would like to help, go to the Land Office to obtain a fungus hunter’s kit.
