In the greenhouse, Su Xiaocai was observing the precious plant sent by Professor Li, a medicinal mushroom. Its cap was a golden-blue color, and its stem was brown, with an extremely vibrant appearance that was hard to believe it was harmless.
Each student smeared a bit of its spores into a petri dish.
The extra credit project for the second semester of sophomore year was it: whoever could cultivate a mature mushroom would receive a scholarship for the next semester and have the opportunity to participate in a publicly funded field trip.
This project had nothing to do with Su Xiaocai; she just tagged along with a team, took some spores with a try-it-out mentality.
She had only picked mushrooms, never grown them.
Since it was a rarely seen mushroom, there were bound to be very few resources about it online.
Su Xiaocai looked at the photos taken by Professor Li.
