And mushrooms came up all around his house like crazy. We had puffballs bigger than soccer balls and just all kinds of mushrooms but I remember a huge patch of the fairy tale looking red capped poisonous mushrooms. Fly agaric I think they were. They were beautiful. I think there were death cap as well. Just tons of mushrooms I had never seen before and probably never will again.meresy_ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01586109095715179608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013142.post-82968335989500298562007-04-25T10:24:00.000-05:002007-04-25T10:24:00.000-05:00Mushrooms appear here once in a while, but nothing...Mushrooms appear here once in a while, but nothing as interesting as this one, Rurality. I like the way nature uses the same shapes - this mushroom reminds me of some barnacle shells on the Carolina coast. <BR/><BR/>AnnieAnnie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013142.post-35791300893353720802007-04-25T10:04:00.000-05:002007-04-25T10:04:00.000-05:00Thanks for that link!
