Hurry up, the first flight leaves in three hours!

WHAT AM I?
A SHROOM WITH A VIEW
Can you turn this giant mushroom into a shroom with a view?

I can be soft, but sometimes hard, Give me some water when I am charred. Plant a seed, I’ ll nurture with care, A tiny world of life grows there.

I may lie dormant, so fast asleep, In hibernation until I am ready to seep. Beneath the earth I stir and shake, A flow of fire in my wake.

I twist and turn, high in the sky, People will chase me, I cannot lie. I cause devastation, it’ s not my fault, When the wind stops, I’ ll cease my assault.
