Meddlesome Mushrooms

By Joyce Julep

CHAPTER ONE

27-year-old Cora Patel was exploring the secluded and beautiful forests of Eastern Oregon. It was a bright, calm day, and she drew herself up and took a deep breath of the cool wilderness air, inhaling and exhaling out pleasantly as she stared up at the great woody lengths of the ponderosa pines. She had recently come by this dream job: her wealthy friend Nora, who she had met a few years back in college, was away in Europe for the summer, and had needed someone to look after her house in the area, along with hundreds of acres of sprawling forest property. Nora had immediately thought of Cora, since she knew her friend had a degree in horticulture and was the “outdoorsy” type who had plenty of experience surviving off and tending to the land. Cora had also been a Gold Award girl scout, the highest achievement possible, and so Nora knew that Cora was more than qualified to tend to her grounds and make sure that all was in order when she was away.  

Cora had jumped at the opportunity — the position paid well, and it offered her the chance to have some serious private time to herself as she explored the land. She took a few more deep breaths of the fresh pine air. This was her idea of a perfect day: scouting and surveying previously unfamiliar land, making note of all the new plants and animals she came across. She had been living on Nora’s land, and staying in her house, for two weeks now, and during this time she had noticed something peculiar: while all the trees and local fauna seemed to be in good order, the animals she came across were…a bit odd. She had noticed within a couple days of being there that some animals were strangely large, while others were bizarrely small.  

At first, this phenomenon seemed like a trick of the light or something simple like that — surely she wasn’t actually seeing what she thought she was seeing. But after a couple days, there was no denying it. Cora came across the smallest stag she had ever seen; it was a stag all right, with its characteristic antlers and everything…but it was only three feet tall! She had tried to track it into the forest, but it had seen her and scampered away. A little while later, she had looked up into the sky as she felt a huge shadow pass over her — it was a blackbird — there was no doubt about that. It had the telltale markings and the characteristic orange beak. But it was huge! With at least a four-foot wingspan! Cora didn’t know what to make of all these strange natural anomalies, and the more she explored the forests, the more examples she saw of oddly-sized animals.  

“Golly,” Cora had thought to herself, brushing her jet black hair out of her face, “I know I’m not just seeing things now! Something strange is going on — I’ve gotta take notes!” And she had been doing exactly that: carrying a notebook with her and jotting down every strange example of an unusually-sized animal that she came across. After two weeks, she had compiled dozens of pages of notes already.  

“I wonder what daddee ma would think about all this,” she had said out loud, chuckling at the thought. Her grandmother, who still lived in India, was the main reason she had been attracted to nature as a child. On family trips to India as a child, her grandmother had encouraged her to see herself as part of nature, and not outside it, and Cora had consequently fallen in love with the trees and forests of the Hindu Kush Mountains from a young age.  

As Cora continued to explore the wilderness this particular morning, she reached a clearing that had previously been hidden to her.  

“That’s strange,” she said out loud to herself. “I thought I had already come this way before — those spruces over there looked so familiar. Oh well, I guess this is new territory then!”  

She became excited as she suddenly saw a doe that had its head down. Cora stopped moving and stood stock still, hoping to get a good long look at what the doe was doing. She saw that it was nibbling on something…a strange mushroom that was growing in the ground. This mushroom was unlike anything Cora had seen before — it grew in little clusters, like most mushrooms, but it was tinged with dark streaks of purple, which ran through the filaments of the stem, up through the gills, and perforating all throughout the cap. Cora then realized that this mushroom cluster the doe was hungrily nibbling at was not isolated. There seemed to be quite a number of them in this clearing.

“Wow, they’re everywhere!” she thought to herself. Still without moving, she glanced around and saw at least a dozen clusters of these bizarre purple mushrooms growing everywhere. These were definitely not like any fungi she had ever seen — on top of being purple, some of them were considerable in size…huge, even. Cora felt her eyes popping a bit as she looked at a particularly enormous cluster that grew over two feet off the ground.  

But the novelty of these strange new mushrooms was nothing compared to what happened next. Suddenly, without any warning or sound, Cora quite clearly saw the doe growing before her eyes. She could hardly believe what she was seeing, but the evidence was plain before her: the doe, previously slight of limb and no taller than four feet or so, quickly swelled in both size and stature, reaching the magnitude of a full-grown stag in a matter of seconds. And all the while, the doe was still nibbling at the extraordinary mushrooms. Like a flash of lightning, Cora understood. It was the mushroom that was making the doe grow! In her astonishment, not really thinking what she was doing, she took a step and snapped some twigs on the ground. The huge doe shot its head up, took one quick look at her, and bolted away into the trees, its newly-huge and lengthy limbs giving it added speed and agility.  

Cora took a few moments to take in what had just happened. Surely…surely that couldn’t have been real! Surely she was…she was seeing things, right!?

“But no way!” she said out loud to herself, “I’ve had my coffee this morning — I’m wide awake! There’s no way I just imagined that! These mushrooms…hmmmm.” She made a move to go examine them, but something held her back. Oftentimes when plants and fungi were colorful in nature, it meant that they were poisonous. But seeing that doe grow to such a huge size in such a short amount of time…it made Cora tingle with excitement all over. It was a little secret of hers that she had kept from everyone for years: she stood at 5’7, which was already a little taller than average for a woman, and particularly an Indian woman. But secretly, she longed to be much bigger. She wanted to be tall…like, really tall. Like way over six feet tall. She envied those 6’9 women who played basketball on TV…and what’s more, she wanted to be curvier, and more muscular. She already had some impressive curves, and people who met her for the first time never failed to notice her ample ass and her C-cup breasts that hung impressively on her lithe and athletic frame. But Cora wanted to be bigger…much bigger.  

She sighed as she thought better of eating the purple mushrooms herself. It was only a fantasy of hers, to get bigger…surely there was no way that it could become a reality. Besides, she still wasn’t sure if the mushrooms were safe to eat. She decided to hide herself in the trees and watch for other animals who might come by and partake in the curious fungi.  

About half an hour later, Cora’s heart leapt in her chest as a great-tailed grackle suddenly flew down without a sound and alighted on one of the large clumps of mushrooms. Cora noted that the grackle was normal-sized at the moment, around 15 inches long. From her hushed and hunched pose, she watched as the grackle bent down and started nipping at the purple flesh of the mushroom’s cap. She felt her heart start to hammer away harder as the thrilled tingles started to spread outward from her chest to her four limbs, and all the way to the tips of her fingers and toes — it was happening again! Right there, before her eyes, the grackle was growing! First to two feet, then three, then four…and…five! Cora was dumbfounded, watching open-mouthed as this now-gigantic bird reared itself up, seemingly having reached its fill, and spread its mighty wings out as it swooped away. Cora felt the wind from the bird’s huge wings brush her black hair past her chocolate-brown cheeks as she watched it fly away.  

“There’s no question now!” she laughed out loud. “See, Cora, you knew what you saw — don’t second guess yourself, girl!” She almost danced over to the nearest clump of purple mushrooms, eager to get a closer look. She noticed that there were a number of tiny bite marks on several of the mushrooms in this clump. Just to verify, she went over to look at other clumps, and saw that the same was true for them. All of them were peppered with little tooth-marks and beak-marks. Clearly, a variety of animals had been snacking on the fungi. And clearly, that’s what explained the weird size differences she had been noticing! Or, at least, it explained certain animals growing bigger — her mind shot back to the miniature stag she had seen before, and she wondered if these mushrooms had anything to do with it getting smaller…or perhaps the stag had consumed another fungi that grew somewhere close by…but she didn’t have enough brain capacity to think about all these added details at a time like this. Cora felt a well of excitement build in her chest: this was an incredible discovery! She could write scientific papers on these purple mushrooms! She could study them and make a name for herself in the scientific and nature community!  

But almost as soon as she felt this swell of intellectual promise, she felt a much more powerful urge threaten to overtake her. These mushrooms made animals grow larger. All different kinds of animals…mammals and birds, as well as reptiles and amphibians (judging from the large lizards and salamanders she had seen).  

“I’m a mammal,” she said, almost breathlessly, as she stared hard at one of the mushrooms. “So why shouldn’t it work on me too?” She thought hard about this, going back and forth in her mind. The urge to grow, to get bigger, was by far the most powerful internal feeling she felt, but she held herself at bay for a few minutes. What if it was poisonous to humans only? And what if the change was uncontrollable? Or permanent? Or what if it changed her brain somehow, and not just her body? Cora thought hard through all these contingencies.  

“But the doe and the bird didn’t seem to change,” she said to herself, “except they just got bigger. They still behaved like the animals they were…they were just…huge!” She looked hard again at the purple fungi flesh on the cap. The compulsion bubbled up within her, and she suddenly didn’t care about the negative possibilities. She was going to try it. Without any more thinking, she suddenly reached out and picked a small mushroom from the bunch on the ground, held it up to her mouth, inhaled, and took a bite. 

Cora sucked in air sharply: the change was immediate. She became instantly conscious of two things simultaneously. First, she felt her clothes tighten around her entire body. Her long pants, her long-sleeve outdoors shirt, and even her socks and hiking boots all hugged her flesh tighter — her body was expanding! But Cora couldn’t just focus on her growth — at the same time as all this was happening, she experienced a sudden wave of intense stimulation that immediately put her in mind of how she felt when she masturbated. The dark areolas around her nipples seemed to ripple in arousal, and her nipples themselves were straining through her bra and shirt, so hard that they poked out almost painfully. The dark brown folds of her pussy lips became immediately wet with lubrication, and her snatch instantly grew hot and moist.  

“Ohhhh…ohhh mmyyy gooddddd,” Cora moaned out into the clearing, unable to stifle these words of pleasure as she continued to grow. After a few more moments she seemed to have stopped. She had shot up to a full six feet tall, and her body had swelled into a fuller and more curvaceous appearance, with her hips, ass, and breasts especially bearing the most obvious signs of growth. She looked down at her arms and pulled her sleeves up, noticing with a thrill that her forearms looked a little more muscled. She stood there in the clearing, soaking up her new size for a number of minutes, her heart beating rapidly in her chest, as she waited for any other effects. But that was it; her growing seemed to have stopped, and she certainly wasn’t feeling ill or anything like that. Not wanting to waste any more time, she quickly gathered a large handful of the mushrooms and brought them back to the house.

Over the next several days, Cora experimented with consuming more and more of the mushrooms as she went about her groundskeeping work in the forest. She couldn’t have been more happy at this new and fantastical development — at last, she was getting her wish! She was growing, and not just in small increments; she was getting huge! As she continued to snack on the purple mushrooms (which had a deliciously hardy and earthy taste), she gradually grew more and more in both size and stature. Her already-impressive body filled out even more, and her considerable muscles continued swelling even bigger. Before long, she had grown into an absolutely amazonian physique, with enormously thick hips, a massive ass, and bombshell tits to boot. But more than anything else, Cora noticed how tall she was getting. First she grew to six and a half feet tall…she kept snacking…she grew to seven feet, then eight feet tall…and still she ate more and more…until the mushrooms were all gone and she had grown to a colossal ten feet tall!  

“Wow!” Cora said to herself, delighting at how powerful her voice was now that she was so huge…she could hear the walls of the house vibrating as she spoke to herself (as she thanked her stars for Nora’s 12-foot-high, lodge-style ceilings!). “I’m…like…an actual giantess now! Haha, what would daddee ma say now? Or mom and dad? Or Rishi? Haha, oh my gosh!” She proceeded to lose herself in a fantasy of size comparison with her grandmother, her parents, and her older brother. None of them were more than 5’8, just barely over half as tall as she was now! To say nothing of her thick, muscled body and her bodacious curves! It was incredible to think about!

But almost as soon as Cora lost herself in these fantasies, she quickly had to come back to the real world, because, having grown so big, her appetite had increased exponentially, and she realized with a jolt that she had eaten up all the food in the house.  

“No worries,” Cora said to herself, “I’ll just…I’ll just ride into town and uh…and…buy some more.” She went out to her car, but quickly realized that there was no way she could fit inside. Her little four-door cruiser was not built to contain a ten-foot, muscled amazon.  

“Aww geez Cora, what are you even thinking!” she chided herself. “What do you think would happen anyway if you just showed up in town looking like this? The whole town would freak out! Is that what you want!?” She realized that she would have to stay isolated, at least for the time being. She couldn’t drive into town, and she didn’t want to risk being seen by the townspeople. With a huff, she hunched herself down on the living room floor, her huge body spanning the entire room, as she lay there, staring up at the ceiling, wondering what she was going to do.  

If her only concern had been procuring food, Cora wouldn’t have had to worry too much. She was an expert on all the nuts and berries that grew in the forests that she could eat. But food wasn’t the only thing on her mind; in fact, it wasn’t even the most pressing thing. More than anything else, after consuming the rest of the mushrooms, Cora had realized that the feelings of sexual stimulation had increased tenfold, along with her height and size. Her nipples were as hard as two protruding diamonds on her breasts, and they were so rock-hard that they ached constantly. She desperately wished that there was someone there to suck them — if there had been, with the first suck, she would have cum instantly. She tried sucking her own breasts, but even though it felt intensely pleasurable, it wasn’t quite the same as someone else doing it. Her pussy was now so wet that it was literally dripping onto the floor of Nora’s house, and Cora had to go outside to keep from making a mess everywhere. She had long since outgrown her clothes, and she peered down at the dark brown folds of her slippery pussy, marveling at how turned on she was.  

But try as she might, Cora couldn’t find release. Even though she was beyond thrilled by her new growth, her frustration at being unable to climax gradually overshadowed every other feeling she was experiencing. Why could she not have an orgasm!? She tried rubbing her dripping lips desperately with her huge hand, playing with her engorged clit at the same time, but she was only able to bring herself to the edge of orgasm. She couldn’t actually get there.  

“God damn it!” Cora muttered in frustration. She tried to roll over and sleep, but her body was still tingling with that same stimulation from the mushrooms, and she wasn’t able to get any real rest. What’s more, as the days passed, she became more and more hungry, until she was absolutely famished. Her amazonian body needed food! She scavenged for nuts and berries in the woods, but even though she was able to find some to eat, it wasn’t anywhere close to what her gigantic body required.  

During this time, Cora tried to distract herself from her increasing physical and sexual hunger by reviewing her field notes. Her nature studies had always served as a good distraction before, in college, when she was struggling with depression and relationship problems, so it was only natural that she would turn to her studies to divert her attention away from her increasing hunger, perpetual sexual arousal, and lack of release. Cora browsed through the notes she had written about the strange purple mushrooms, and how the doe and the bird had grown immediately after eating them. Clearly, whatever was happening to those two animals was also happening to her…but then she thumbed back a couple pages and she saw her notes on the shrunken stag that she had seen a few days before. Now what was going on there? Had the stag eaten the same mushrooms, and just shrunk instead of grown? If so, why? Cora’s mind was alive with possibilities — maybe the mushrooms only grew female animals, and shrunk male animals! She chuckled to herself…that would be pretty funny, if that were the case. She kept thinking; maybe there was another fungi that grew somewhere close by that was shrunk animals, instead of growing them.  

‘Hmmm,' Cora thought to herself, ‘it already seemed impossible before that such a fungi could exist — it’s unlikely that there’s a whole other “shrinking” type that no one knew about.’ But still, she allowed this possible explanation to exist in her mind, and she filed it away as she kept thinking. After a few more minutes, she thought of another explanation, and this one seemed more plausible than any of the others. The stag, she reasoned, probably ate something else before it ate the mushroom, and some kind of chemical reaction occurred inside its body, between the food it consumed and the mushroom, that led to it shrinking instead of growing. Cora nodded her head — this definitely seemed like the most plausible explanation, since it was the simplest she had come up with. It didn’t involve the mushroom possessing all kinds of weird and undiscovered properties that acted only on females…besides, as a horticulturalist, Cora knew that “female” wasn’t a catch-all term that extended across the board. It meant different things for different species of plants and animals. She was so far into her notes and scientific musings that she had almost forgotten her predicament, but suddenly, in that moment, her stomach growled loudly as she felt her clit give a craving twinge. Cora sighed in frustration — there was no distracting herself from this… 

After days and days of hunger, pent up arousal, and an inability to find sexual release, Cora wasn’t thinking straight anymore. She sat up suddenly with a determined fire in her eyes; she knew what she was going to do, and nothing was going to stop her. She wrapped her enormous body in white bedsheets from Nora’s house, grabbed the big water cooler that she had been using as a water bottle, and set off back to the clearing where all the purple mushrooms grew. She arrived there quickly, in only about ten minutes, since she was able to move much faster on her long legs. 

To Cora’s surprise, she saw that the bunch of mushrooms she had taken had already grown back.  

“Oh, that’s nice!” she said to herself, “That means it doesn’t really matter how many of them I eat — they’re a special kind of mushroom that grow back super quick.” Cora felt a desperate warming in her loins as her stomach growled suddenly and audibly out into the clearing. Without even pausing to think more, Cora unwrapped herself from the bedsheets, tossed them aside, and immediately set to picking huge clumps of the mushrooms and shoving them into her mouth. She hardly even bothered to chew them as she swallowed them down. A ravenous twin hunger drove her: she was terribly hungry for food, but she was even more powerfully desperate for sexual release. And almost as soon as she swallowed down the first batch, she felt her pussy twitch and lurch as her fat brown lips started lubricating themselves all over again.  

Soon Cora was positively dripping…and she was growing! Her already-huge body was rapidly swelling in size, and she felt her bones, tissues, ligaments, limbs, and everything else lengthening and filling out more and more as she continued to eat mushroom after mushroom. Her breasts swelled to absolutely gargantuan proportions. Her ass grew unbelievably huge, and her breasts hung heavier than ever on her rapidly increasing frame. Her limbs and core grew even more muscular, as the vigorous tissue expanded to unprecedented proportions, and then kept growing! Cora was sitting naked on the ground, and as she ate and ate, her head grew up higher and higher, until it was taller than some of the trees. She felt an intense and searing surge of energy as she grew, and she scrambled eagerly to her feet, wanting badly to see how tall she was getting. She rose up and up, well past a number of trees, to the point where she estimated that she had to be around thirty feet tall now! Even the ponderosa pines, some of which were over a hundred feet tall, were beginning to look smaller to her. And still, she continued to grow! More and more, surging upward and upward, Cora’s body kept getting bigger and bigger, taller and taller, until she had risen above all but the tallest pine trees. And even compared to these trees, Cora noticed that her thick thighs were just as big, or bigger, than their comparatively skinny trunks. Her pussy twitched and contracted as it became clear to her just how gargantuan she had become — within ten minutes, her curvaceous and muscled amazonian form had surged all the way to fifty feet tall!  

Her eyes were wide as she heaved a hulking deep breath, looking around at the tree tops that stretched out in front of her, just around shoulder-height. She couldn’t believe it — she was actually a giantess now! She extended her massive arms up above her head and stretched triumphantly, absolutely reveling in her new size. As she breathed out, she saw the tops of the trees bend and ruffle, just like they would in response to the wind from a storm. A huge smile lit up her face as she realized how massive and powerful she had become. She looked down at the trees and saw the little bird’s nests and squirrel’s nests on the branches below her. It was an incredible novelty, to be looking down at the nests, at the branches. It was an amazing feeling that infused her body with raw joy — she was literally the queen of the forest now! And meanwhile, her sexual energy was growing along with her body, until her giant pussy was literally seething and roiling internally with lust, threatening to boil over at any moment.

Cora could stand it no longer and swiftly thrust her fingers into her frothing snatch, vigorously masturbating her giantess body in the clearing as she threw her head back. Her eyes were fluttering in ecstasy. After a few moments of almost intolerable strain, she burst forth in an earth-shattering orgasm that shook her body limb from limb, vibrating all the trees with its intensity. Her pussy gushed forth in relief as she came again and again, yelling out in almost-inhuman relief as she collapsed, quivering on her back.  

After a matter of minutes of lying there senselessly in the clearing, Cora gradually came to, and almost as soon as she did she realized that the trees were growing larger around her. But no — that wasn’t it! The trees weren’t getting bigger; she was getting smaller!  

“Whew!” she laughed to herself, brushing her sweaty brow. “I guess this is fine…maybe I’ll go back to my normal size and I can go into town and get some actual food, haha!” At first, her shrinking body seemed to validate this prediction. But, after a few more minutes, Cora noticed with alarm that she reached her normal height, and then kept shrinking on past it! And she wasn’t just losing height — all her muscle seemed to be melting away, together with her knockout curves!  

“No!” she spouted out into the clearing as she shrunk to four feet tall. “No, no, no!!” But there was nothing she could do — she kept on shrinking and shrinking, and losing her curves and muscle. She felt the weight fall away from her, almost as if it were literally melting off her frame. She grasped and gestured out desperately into thin air, irrationally attempting to somehow retain her size in her hold, but it was impossible. She shrank down to three feet, and she stamped her little feet on the ground and bent down and beat the ground in frustration with her little fists. She had no idea what was happening, and even though it wasn’t painful, it was still quite alarming to be shrinking so rapidly. And when was it going to stop!? Was she going to keep on shrinking until there was nothing left?! She shrank down to two feet — by now the blades of grass in the clearing were shin-high…and they were creeping up her legs as the shrinking continued. Now she was only one foot! A gentle breeze suddenly kicked up in the clearing, and nearly made her fall over. And still she shrank…about half a minute later, she had gotten so tiny that she stood no taller than six inches!  

“Crap!” Cora said out loud, hating how high-pitched her voice sounded at this size. Her breasts, relative to her minuscule size, were now only an A-cup, and her arms and legs had become quite skinny. She had totally lost all her muscle definition, and now her little limbs were just skin and bones, looking scrawny and weak. Her hips and ass had been so curvy and full before, but now her ass had disappeared and her bony hips stuck out angularly from her emaciated midsection. It was like she had regressed from an incredibly buxom and filled-out adult woman to the awkward scrawniness of a teenage girl who was struggling with an eating disorder. She glanced around desperately for more of the purple mushrooms, but there were none to be found — apparently, in her voracious lust, she had eaten them all!  

“Humph!” she said in discouragement, and collapsed down into a cross-legged position, with her back to one of the dirt clods that had been pulled up as she yanked the mushrooms out of the ground just minutes before. Cora crossed her skinny little arms across her diminished chest and sighed. She must have been right in her reasoning before — surely, it was something that she ate, combined with the mushrooms, that made her shrink like this. She thought back to the shrunken stag she had seen, and to the forest berries she had eaten. That had to be it! The mushrooms made you bigger, but eating them in combination with the forest berries made you shrink! Her heart raced in her little chest as she reasoned all this out, and she wished that she could write down her thoughts in her notebook. But it was impossible right now. She’d just have to wait and survive until the mushrooms grew back again!
