Hello Neebiechix nice to meet you.

 

[chickadoodles]

My mint seeds came today.
I hope I can get them to grow.

Minky, I hope my post didn't indicate to you that you SHOULDN't do raised bed. Just that it's not necessary if your conditions don't warrant it.

Welcome @Neebiechix.

I put some mixed mint seeds in a small pot and some in a damp paper to see which would sprout faster or better. I hope I have great results in a couple weeks.

I never had Morel Mushrooms before. Tried to take a bite out of this one and almost chipped a tooth....

Here is another interesting item found nearby.

If anyone is interested, I shared my favorite Mushroom Barley Soup recipe here:#12243

Sounds great! Thanks NFC!

Yes they were. The oyster mushrooms were growing on the dead elm trees and the shaggy manes grow in the guinea pen. There are also lots of inky cap mushrooms growing with the shaggy manes but most of those are the alcohol inky caps which you don't want to eat if you have a had an alcohol containing drink within several days either before or after having those mushrooms.

Interesting.

No I did not. It is at a Forest Preserve, Nature Center area. There are a few more there and they started appearing a few years ago. The ranger must be in agreeable view with the sculptor , so he cuts the trees, and leaves a tall enough stump.
I was surprised that vandals, or thieves did not steal/destroy these. Guess they enjoy them also. It is public access all the time.
