The choking smell of musty earth and mildew greets your nostrils

announcing the prescense of the many types of fungus that cover the

walls here. The mold covers the walls like a second skin, revealing

little of the rock behind it. Spores coat your nostrils, making it

difficult to breath. The smell of rotten vegetation assaults you from

every direction but up, where a large, slippery hole is seen. Several

root clusters spring forth from the hole, allowing you to climb up.
