Mushrooms, mushrooms everywhere!Just outside our new offices, there is a small strip of grass between the parking lot and the Fraser River. This little strip of green is home to the biggest mushrooms I have ever seen. Some of these monsters measure up to 8" in diameter.
If some appear to be damaged, they are, as I forgot to look where I was walking.
The come in a variety of shapes and sizes, domes, cups, flat, big and small (although I suspect the small ones are just catching up). And different colors as well. I wonder if the vibrant color means "Don't dare eat me!" like it usually does with frogs, toads and numerous insects. How does one tell which mushrooms one can make into a soup or include in a steak and mushroom pie?
Perhaps the best thing is to leave them where they are, and purchase my veggies from the supermarket.
