Elven Forest

Anyone figured out what to do with the giant Blue Mushroom? I found the switch that gives access, but nothing happens when I examine it.
Also, anyone have a way of spray painting the slow cocka gold?
Seriously, I am tired of feeling stooopid chasing a stupid bird. Anyone know the trick for this one?
