Mushrooms. 11.29.17

 Some mushrooms around my yard. I don't know what kind they are, except for the lovely red cap Amanita muscari. Those have emerged a little more fully too. I think they are more plentiful here because I apply so much tree leaves and arborist chips to the yard.

As I understand it, the visible mushrooms are just a visible manifestation of a much more extensive underground soil network of mycelium, connecting with tree and plant roots and nourishing the connected plants and trees. I don't know which ones are edible, and which ones are not. Since I prefer to keep my current liver, I'm not eating them.

I ordered some morel spawn, online.  Maybe there will be morels in a year or two.
