To the Mushroom Forest!

Kinoko no mori ni ikô! (キノコの森に行こう！), also known as Return to the Mushroom Forest, is the 348th chapter of the manga and the second chapter of the Mushrooms of Time Arc.

Now both Ranma and Ryoga have turned into little children. They decide to try and find the Mushroom Forest again in hopes of locating a sixteen centimeter mushroom that can return them to their rightful age. Unfortunately they run into Mousse, who doesn't recognize them, but feels the need to beat them up regardless. Shampoo also tries to adopt little Ranma, which only slows them down.

Trivia

 * At the beginning of the chapter, Akane can be seen holding a bib with a Piyo Piyo chick on it, a reference to Rumiko Takahashi's previous series, Maison Ikkoku.
 * On Ryoga's map has there is a drawing of two oni, with one asking "are there any bad kids around here?" This may be a reference to the Japanese fairytale about the Red & Blue Oni.
 * In Viz Media's translation, Ryoga warns Mousse to wash his clothes and prepare, in the original Japanese Ryoga actually tells Mousse to "wash his neck and wait", which comes from preparing for ritual suicide where the person will wash their neck before being beheaded.
 * This line would later be used by Bankotsu in Rumiko Takahashi's subsequent series, InuYasha.
