Lava Toasted Mushrooms

Just another ordinary day in Minecraft.  Perhaps I should have started with a tour of the island, but today's activities seemed far more interesting and appropriate.  I set out on the grand task of expanding my mushroom farm.

Lovely Lovely Mushrooms!

This is the red side.  Beyond the torches, is an identical room for brown mushrooms.  I've been testing two different patterns of planting to see which one was most effective.... unfortunately I didn't account for where I was in relation to my home above.  Which led to this.

Having temporarily walled off the lava with cobble and lost a good portion of the farm, I ran upstairs to empty out the incinerator of lava. Somehow in the process the temporary cobblestone holding pen I hastily built managed ... to catch fire.

I ... didn't think that was possible.  8|

In my panic to douse the fire, I ended up with some lovely obsidian right in the middle of my floor. And the cobble was still on fire. It eventually put itself out, much to my relief - everlasting fire was not in my game plan for floor decoration, given my own perchance of falling into or off things.

While divesting my floor of it's obsidian warts, night fell, and soft footsteps pattered above my head.  The lack of oinks, moos, baas, groans or rattles raised the hairs on my neck, sure enough, I look up and...

The creeper slowly turned, looked down at me, and then trundled off.

Never has glass felt so inadequate. I promptly backed up and fell right into Mining Shaft Alpha.
