The fairy flowers growing on the creek bottom are gone now but all the rain has set the stage for another fairy wonderland. This weekend, Himself and I admired 6 or 8 different kinds of mushrooms. Some looked just like pancakes and were as big around as dinner plates. Some were like the traditional white mushroom with stem and cap. These in the photo were a beautiful shade of rosy red. Every where we looked, there were mushrooms and fungi.
I have been reading up on Missouri mushrooms and there are edible ones out there now. One, called the “Other Mushroom” as opposed to the Morel, is the Chanterelle. Himself and I will need to develop a palate and an eye for mushrooms. With this many mushrooms, we could eat like kings -- and feed the world!
