'Death Cap' This mushroom is responsible for deaths in emergency rooms every year. Storm and I headed down to our 2nd Mycological society meeting Monday and it was - as our friend Loni would say - Sporeriffic!
We have decided to make a day of it and that is what we did!
We went to a store - as Storm had to make a purchase for his next adventure! Everyday being just that, then we went off for a burger and fries in this very fancy mall. Suddenly, you drive in and the streets are brick, very expensive stores & vehicle - the burger very affordable and very good- who knew it even existed - not far from that was the location of the meeting, it worked out perfect - we had a bit of a wait in the parking lot - it is never a problem, we are never short on conversation it seems.
Another really interesting meeting IMO, the gentleman "Bruno' a farmer of mushrooms was very descriptive, informative and entertaining. ;) He talked about drilling holes into logs and then inoculating then & plugging them - in hopes they will produce Mushrooms. Little tricks of the trade, and interesting facts were also shared. For example if you have slugs, Bruno suggests you buy them a beer and don't stress over it. lol
Really, Storm and I both again discussed the evening most of the way home.
I came away inspired and looking forward to the potential of home grown portobello - next year in the garden. It takes a while, white a learning process.. lets face it the only one really learning is Storm, I am just inspired!
Once again we enjoyed the evening and he day! I'm blessed to have a son who enjoys my company- lol, and I his. EVEN though I am still a mom and can still be very much nag.
Like taking this photo and reminding him need to text & drive. lol
