CHAPTER NINE
“Well Maya!” exclaimed Georgiana, spreading her shapely arms wide at the neat patch of newly-sprouted purple mushrooms, “it’s been exactly two-and-a-half weeks, just like that botany book said, and now I think we’re ready for the harvest!”
“They look great, Georgiana,” answered Maya, sighing out impressively as she looked at the extensive purple heads poking up above the dirt. “I mean, from what I know, at least. I’m not really sure, you know, about the exact time that would be ideal to harv —”
“Well, I do,” interrupted Georgiana, striding impressively to and fro amongst the rows of purple heads. “I bought that book especially for this purpose, and it specifically said that these kinds of mushrooms take just over two weeks to reach full maturity.”
“But I...uh, I thought you said that these mushrooms were...uh...were an undiscovered species,” said Maya cautiously. She knew that her response would likely irritate Georgiana, but seeing as how her mistress had put her in charge of farming the mushrooms, Maya wanted to make sure that, should anything go wrong with the harvest, Georgiana would know that it wasn’t all her fault.
“Yes, they are undiscovered,” snapped Georgiana shortly, “but that doesn’t mean they don’t have any similarities to other species that are discovered. Come on, Maya; I already explained this to you. Weren’t you even paying attention when I read that chapter on fungal genuses out loud to you?”
“I...hehe, yes I was...paying as much attention as I could,” said Maya, smiling sheepishly. “But remember, uhm...this is my first time...uh, farming.”
“Well, thank goodness you had me to help,” said Georgian imperiously, bending down and snatching the basket out of Maya’s hands. “And now...for the moment of truth...you’re catching all this on video, aren’t you?”
“Of...of course!” said Maya, holding up her smartphone to record Georgiana harvesting the first mushroom. Maya had to inwardly smile — there was seemingly no end to her mistress’s vanity, but even still, Maya didn’t think Georgiana could be blamed for wanting to record this moment. After all, these mushrooms had proven themselves to be an exceedingly special breed.
Georgiana had arched her lovely back and was angling herself down, with Maya capturing every moment. Long, graceful fingers hooked gingerly underneath one of the plumper purple heads, and ever so surely, Georgiana pulled it up out of the earth, carrying a few loose dirt clods with it. Maya kept filming as the 6’2 beauty sprayed the mushroom clean with a special bottle, dried it with a plush little towel, and finally held the harvested specimen in her hand, ready to eat.
“Ooooh, it’s so pretty!” remarked Maya.
“Yes, it is,” agreed Georgiana, admiring the mushroom for a long few seconds.
“Okay!” she said abruptly, having apparently admired the fungi long enough. “Time for the real moment of truth. You’re still filming, right?”
“Still filming,” nodded Maya, whose heart had started to beat rather quickly.
“Alright...here goes!” said Georgiana, tipping her head back. She popped the entire mushroom in her mouth, chewed it thoughtfully, and then swallowed. Both women stood stock still, waiting for something to happen.
And then, something did happen — very suddenly, and very quickly, Georgiana grew...two whole inches.
“Ohhhh!” Georgiana cried excitedly, her eyes going wide as her mouth broke open in an ecstatic grin.
“Yeah!” exclaimed Maya, cheering her mistress on as she filmed her expansion. But the growth abruptly stopped at two inches. Georgiana stood there, her arms spread out, seeming to hope for more. But when it didn’t come, she nonetheless pumped her fist in triumph.
“Gah! Wish it was more!” Georgiana thundered. But then she seemed to reassure herself. “Still good! Still good! It’s okay...it’s okay.”
“Okay?!” cried Maya. “Georgiana, it’s perfect! I just saw you grow!”
“Yeah, so did I,” said Georgiana lustily. She already had her phone out, and was dialing a number. “Hey, Carmen?” she said suddenly into her phone. “Yeah, get over here. I don’t care what you’re doing. We’re DOING it...NOW.”
Maya bowed her head a little, sheepishly retreating a bit from her mistress, who had burgeoned up to 6’4. Carmen was an extremely attractive young woman, who Georgiana often called when she was feeling particularly aroused — she was essentially Georgiana’s go-to booty call, and right now, Georgiana was more turned-on than she had been in a long time.
Half an hour later, Georgiana was in her bedroom with Carmen, the door shut, as the lascivious sounds of their passionate sex passed through the heavy door and echoed down the hallways. In a nearby room, Maya busied herself with her daily tasks, blushing a little as she heard the two vigorous young women go at it. Maya knew what was going on; by ascertaining that the mushrooms indeed worked and growing her noticeably, her mistress had gotten herself that much closer to Cora.
Maya knew that Georgiana would never admit this out loud, or probably even to herself, but the maid was fully aware that by growing herself, Georgiana was accomplishing two things at once. First, she had discovered her rival’s secret, and she was using it herself to get even. And second (and more importantly), by growing herself, Georgiana was subconsciously preparing herself to make an unexpected appearance in front of Cora, whenever that might be, when Georgiana would do the “grand reveal” and show that she was just as tall (or maybe even taller!) than Cora herself.
And now, with Carmen in there (who was a gorgeous 5’11 blonde who had always been drawn to Georgiana), Maya knew that her mistress was just blowing off steam in preparation for more growth, and, eventually, her encounter with Cora. But if Maya knew anything about Georgiana (and she knew more than anyone else did), she was certain that right now, her mistress was fantasizing about having sex with Cora. Sure, Carmen was gorgeous — but Maya was well aware that Georgiana was nursing a fixation for Cora that had only been strengthened by the discovery of the purple mushrooms.
The fungi, in a strange way, now bound the two together, and Maya was the fun little “third wheel” on the side, who was perfectly content for the two beauties to battle and strive against each other. Personally, Maya was thrilled that she even had the opportunity to grow a little bit herself, and she couldn’t help but wonder when she would next get the opportunity. She knew that she couldn’t just start consuming the mushrooms that she had grown artificially in the greenhouse — Georgiana had been keeping strict tabs on them, and she would definitely know if even one of them went missing.
‘Hmmm,’ thought the maid, not being able to help chuckling a little to herself as one of Georgiana’s throaty moans erupted down the hallway. Maya was folding freshly-washed towels in the laundry room, but after a few more minutes of incessant moaning and wailing coming from Georgiana’s bedroom, she figured she could do another task for the time being. Maya was feeling a little restless, and she needed to be able to hear herself think.
Gradually, Maya found herself drifting back toward the greenhouse. She cleaned the hallway floor, brushed the cobwebs from the side pantry, and then, several chores later, found herself by the greenhouse again. Maya smiled inwardly, well-aware that her chores had led her there on purpose. She walked into the humid room, smelling the rich earth, tinged with the slightly-tangy smell of the new mushrooms. Bending down low, Maya examined the deep purple heads, and for a few long minutes she crouched there, deep in thought.
“Hmmm,” she said out loud, “so Georgia only grew...a couple inches...haha, ‘only’...but still, that Cora Patel...she had grown a lot more than that. I wonder…”
Maya continued to ponder awhile until a thought suddenly came to her; maybe these “domesticated” mushrooms that she had grown were different from the ones that grew in the wild! Maybe the wild mushrooms were more potent — maybe growing them in an artificial environment, with all of the special fertilizers she had used, somehow diluted the mushrooms’ growing power. It seemed like a sensible enough idea to Maya, but she knew that there was only one way to find out.
She stood up and, a few minutes later, was in her chambers, changing into her “outdoor” clothes. The sounds of Georgiana and Carmen getting each other off still sounded throughout the mansion, but Maya was on a mission now. She brought with her a map, a backpack with a water bottle, the com-link that Georgiana had left on the kitchen counter, and a small empty basket. She set off out of the mansion, down the hill, and into the forest.
Following the map carefully, Maya was able to remember the location of the clearing, and made a beeline straight in that direction.
———————
Earlier that same day, Cora was having quite a different time. After days and days of hunger, pent up arousal, and an inability to find sexual release, she wasn’t thinking straight anymore. The brief emotional high of chasing off those intruders had not been enough to outlast the conflicting urges in her body that her mushroom binges had created.
She was now just under 12 feet tall, with rippling muscles to match her amazonian height. But even if she had wanted to go into town to show up Georgiana some more, she knew that she couldn’t go. Her mind was all in a haze, she was terribly hungry, her hair was a mess, and she knew that she would only make an unfortunate spectacle out of herself if she dared to show her face in public.
She was so intensely horny, but any amount of masturbation had not brought her release. She had resorted to using household objects, like wine bottles, furniture, anything big enough to have some kind of effect. But it was all for nothing, and Cora was terribly frustrated to find that, no matter how close to orgasm she got, she didn’t quite achieve it. She knew that she needed more mushrooms to get there.
Suddenly, she sat up in Nora’s bed, 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 massive 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 grows 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! And maybe Georgiana will be there, trying to ignore the fact that I totally overshadowed her at the gathering! She’ll have no idea how I got back to normal size...haha, she’ll totally freak!”
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 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. Cora 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.
Cora 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 tall! 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!
“Shoot!” 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 teenager. 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.
Cora 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.
She huddled up next to a tree stump in the clearing, trying to get her thoughts straight. Suddenly, Cora heard a rustling in the forest, and she hid herself up closer against the stump, her little body shaking in alarm. Someone was coming out of the forest...it was a woman, and to Cora, she looked absolutely huge...olive-skinned, wearing a backpack, with an empty basket dangling from her arm. After some intense thought, she recognized the giantess as Georgiana’s maid.
Maya had arrived at the clearing.
