Talking mushroom tree
The tree we identified lately
as having wild
oyster mushrooms growing
out of it decided to fall in our driveway, which felt to me like it was
screaming "Cut me up....take me home...and Eat Me!"
I guess I'm always happy to
oblige a talking mushroom tree when it offers up such a yummy gift.

I bought my husband one of those mushroom kits in a box a few years ago - with portabellos in it. He grew the mushrooms in his basement, enjoyed it thoroughly, and then when they were all done, he dumped the dirt in the side yard underneath a bunch of trees.
Well, every year, right about this time, we realize, "Holy Cow! There's a ton of mushrooms down there!" They keep coming back! By the time we notice them, they're usually almost finished. I finally made a note in our Google calendar to start looking at the beginning of October! We've definitely gotten our money's worth from that kit!
