Looking closely at the log, you can see several worms burrowing through the rotting wood. ~ -1 S #23035 Dark Forest~ Scattered patches of light appear on the forest floor, giving it a mottled appearance.

It is pale green and looks as if it were made out of small threads. ~ -1 S #23037 Dark Forest~ The path twists around a gnarled tree to the north and west.
