- Hm.
- I found it.
[ Kettle whistling stops ]
You found what?
The mushroom.
The mushroom?
The Blue Angel?
Ha. Doesn't exist.
Oh, I found it. It exists.
I even took it.
It saved my life.
"Found" it. Found it where?
Uh, in Peru.
A valley. I followed
a river up into
[ Scoffs ] I spent
15 years in Peru!
It's not in Peru.
- Well, I found it, Hildy.
- [ Muttering ]
You have to trust me.
And the problem is,
upriver from where
the mushroom grows
Reutical has this horrible
industrial waste site
that's poisoning everything.
I don't know how much
longer they can survive.
Of course! [ Laughs ]
Of course! It
adapted! It evolved!
- What?
- The runoff!
It fed it!
- Fed it? No.
Chernobyl. Remember Chernobyl?
The melanized fungi?
Yeah
The radiation
altered the structure
of the melanin molecules.
The fungi weren't growing
in spite of the radiation.
They were changing and
growing because of it.
Oh, my God! How
did I miss that?!
Oh, my God! It's
feeding on the runoff!
Hildy!
[ Both laughing ]
Did you bring it here?
[ Chuckles ] What?
Did you bring it
here?! Let me see it!
Well, okay. I was hoping
that, you know, the two of us,
maybe with your help, we
could find a way to grow it.
So you do have it.
You brought it here.
Show it to me. Show it to me!
Hildy, you're kind of
scaring me a little and
Have you been taking
your medication?

- Okay
They should be taking my meds!

Marshall. Did some girl
make puppy-dog eyes at you?
And so now you're giving away
the world's greatest mushroom?!
Pathetic!
She's really nice, Hildy.
Why'd you come here?
Well, I-I really thought
you could help me grow it.
And we could give this to the
whole world. Think about that.
If If it's growing
because of the runoff,
if it's adapted to
our poisons, that's
that means we just
need to find a place
at just the right altitude,
humidity, no freezes,
and then right on top
of the nastiest pharmaceutical
landfill we can find.
We could do that!

for you, Marshall.
