Mushrooms

Now that we are getting a little rain, the mushrooms are popping up everywhere. It seems like it is usually late august when this happens, but maybe it is more of a response to dry conditions followed by some rain. I am grateful for what we are getting even in the way of spotty showers. I enjoy seeing the mushrooms. There are all different shapes and colors. But I am still of the opinion that mushrooms should not be gathered from the wild for consumption. Oh, well, maybe you can recognize a morel , but beyond that? Just don't ask me to dinner if you are having wild gathered mushrooms.
