Islay smiled over to Stella as she collected her things and sat with her at her table. SEE this could be fun, they could make this work – besides, Stella’d always been nice to her. “okay, we could do tricks...but what kind?” she said as she thought aloud, her pen poised and ready to take notes when professor Rainwater asked what they had.

“Not much sir,” Islay answered, “but going by the fact that it is mostly water based I’d think that whatever you graft to it would need to be hydrophilic versus having it be hydrophobic” she said as she tapped her pen against the notepad.

“if we combine it with something that’s a hydrophyte like a waterlily you could vastly change the amount of areas the toadstool could grow – making it survive in lower oxygen areas like deep in wet watery caves” see she had ideas. She didn’t know what she would combine it with yet but she had ideas.

BRAINSTORM

• do tricks??
• hydrophyte – like waterlily
• low oxygen space growing???
• hydrophillic vs hydrophobic plant trains

"What would you think Stella?...i mean...i was thinking that could be an idea waterlilly - toadstool mix...but like what kind?" she paused for a second, "another idea is...we could find one that would combine the plant-based potion into one plant...like make a highly poisonous mushroom for the most potent of poisons?"
