To the left they were thick. They were viridescent, almost metallic hued verd-antique. Curiously indeed were they like distorted images of dog and deerlike forms, of birds of dwarfs and here and there the simulacra of the giant frogs! Spore cases, yellowish green, as large as mitres and much resembling them in shape protruded from the heaps. My repulsion grew into a distinct nausea.
