TheWoWDBThis questline must be finished before the portal to Oribos will show up!
- Upgrade to level 3 transport network required for Oribos portalI upgraded the transport network to 3 but the Oribos portal was missing, once I completed this quest line then used the mushroom to transport to the ring and then back to the heart of the forest the portal to Oribos appeared.

It doesn't appear it can be turned in right now. Cortinarius is just a vendor when you arrive for the next step in the quest. Not sure if we missed something.

Description
Hmm. Well that's not... great. But no cause for alarm, yet! It has been a long time since our ring withdrew from here, and we probably need to go to its source to get it to return! Unfortunately, I haven't heard from the Chief Mushroomancer, Cortinarius, since the crisis began. Please, find him and help us rejoin the rings! Head west of Dreamsong Fenn to the Stalks. You can't miss them... just follow the mushrooms!

After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Mushroom For Improvement
The mushrooms are under attack! I need your help, or we risk losing it all! Some fae wearing strange masks came in and demanded to gain access to the rings. When I told them they were closed due to the drought, they attacked me! I'm too weak to fight back now, and I'm cut off from the center ring.
