In this short scene, we are introduced to the "mushroom syndrome" , a psychological disorder in which a person's bodily functions are disrupted when he or she is touched by another human being. In this case, the human being is a mushroom, and the person who touches the mushroom is the victim of the disorder. The victim is a young woman named Chuta, who has just returned from a trip to the Galapagos Islands. She is frightened by the sight of the mushroom and tries to protect herself, but she is unable to control her emotions. She tries to comfort herself by saying that she has always loved him, and that he has always protected her from harm. However, as the scene progresses, we learn that Chuta's feelings for the mushroom have changed, and she has become more and more attracted to the man.
