Invasion of the Wild Mushroom

The week of rain we just experienced brought a crop of mushrooms like I've never seen before. Most are Fairy Rings, and in places the entire lawn is white with them. A few brown ones are also popping up in places, but I have no idea what variety they are.

I don't enjoy eating mushrooms, so I have no interest in picking them. Tomorrow, or Monday, they get mowed along with the recuperating grass. That should spread enough spores to grow a serious crop next year. Maybe I can get an agricultural tax exemption for our acre of mushrooms.

I love mushrooms, and pick several of the wild ones. Took some classes a while back, and learned a lot. I've been watching for the giant puffballs that appear sporadically in our hedge and yard, but haven't seen any yet this year. We get them up to the size of a bicycle helmet, and some even bigger than that. THey're great when sliced into 1/2 inch sliced, then fried in butter and garlic. Yum!
