Shroom capital...we have these growing ALL over downtown, besides the Post Office, the dept store, the PUD building...

Don't eat 'em !!

I think the one on the left has a door in the stem.


Really people. Don't even taste this one

I learned the hard way at a young age not to eat unidentified mushrooms. I was 2 at the time and I still remember the trip to the hospital and them trying to make me puke. It's got to be pretty traumatic for stuff to stick when you're that young.

They are all over downtown raymond ! Some the size of a dinner plate ! They do not even look real ! So pretty, look like a red-sapped gnome should be sitting on one.

I ate an entire bottle of children's baby aspirin, the orange flavoured ones...YUM !
Yup, a trip to the hospital for me, too...but I still LOVE baby aspirin !

I live up in Whatcom County. Is there a certain place that you all buy chicks/chickens in Washington, Oregon or California? I would much prefer buying them when they wouldn't have to ship so far! I'd rather buy chicks that are day old up to 6 weeks old. My very first chick order was from My Pet Chicken. I felt so bad that they were in the mail for 2 days! Our feed stores only have chicks in the spring too.
