things ARE happening Out There.     Up in Sunny Ray's Forest.    The first is the largest,  almost if not 12 inches across.   !!!!!  and then,   6 other clusters,  like second pic.    I found my Mushroom ID pamphlet….will sit with it again tomorrow….and go back,  to see if there are gills or folds….which tell it all.    They were startling.   Just suddenly      THERE         amidst all the browns and greys…???   Why?????   Another Beauty Full question….Why,        I need to go find where i read about Mushrooms and if anyone remembers too,  tell me….maybe   Deb G    who reads much the same as i??????   That the    mushroom    is the     fruit of the    "plant"….that is underground,  the  mother plant,  this the fruit     and that they occur now,  in this wet overcast Season…??????  it is just nothing less than a total       Wonder.

    Such glorious mushrooms! Yes – Read Entangled Life by Merlin Sheldrake. It was my favorite book of 2020. You’ll love it. It opens up a whole wonderful world!

    After years of drought it’s wonderful seeing that plant life has survived .. like after terrible fires you see new life. Survivors just like us humans we have the ability to survive .. and for all those human or not that do not survive my heart breaks.

    They could be jack-o’-lantern mushrooms. (Although please add the usual disclaimers about casually IDing from a photo.) I’ve never witnessed mushroom bioluminescence in the wild. It’s another whole reason to be completely amazed. Perhaps this could aid in your acceptance of the rainy season. I keep telling myself the rain is also replenishing ground water.

    I’m the oddball here…mushrooms – I don’t like the taste and the look creeps me out. I scroll quickly past the pics, looking as best I can. I have over recent years worked on “getting over” this – but, not too hard. 😉 So, my question would be – why am I so weird about things that creep me out and do not creep out others? Mushrooms, certain bugs, things growing out of odd places…
    At any rate, it is very comforting to know that things grow – need to grow, even when we don’t know it, or see it…to know they can survive and bring beauty (?) and needed things to the world. This is good.
