Ferida Wolff's Backyard: Mushrooms, Mushrooms, Mushrooms and An Observational Trek
Ferida Woolf Writes: "I’ve been noticing that there are more mushrooms popping up on lawns recently. Brown ones, white ones, flat, round, and, well, traditionally mushroom-shaped. I looked up mushrooms and I think the ones I saw were like Giant Puffballs (Calvatia gigantea)... But whatever kind is local, they are so interesting to see. It makes my daily walk new each time." more »
