Ohhh! Looky-Looky!
And it’s edible!
I guess in the old days if this was found growing on the threshold of a home, it was believed that the occupants had been targeted by a witch.
However, in Asia they use this stuff in many stir fry dishes to provide a pop! It’s sort of a tree-ear-fungus. Like my dad always says, “There’s a fungus amongus!”
Totally cool. One of these days, I’ll upload all the photos of mushrooms I’ve hunted on my hikes - I only eat the ones I’m one-hundred percent certain of. Don’t go out and eat the mushrooms growing in your yard!
People die around here on occasion from eating the totally deadly amanitas and agarics. I guess the Death Cap resembles a mushroom that is commonly used in Asian cooking.
Just got home from work and I have to head back there tomorrow. Had a major creepy guy get all up in my face today in a nasty neighborhood when I visited a patient. Ran into a killer guard dog entering a home. Got puked on and bled on. Sometimes I feel like I’m in the middle of a bad movie. Ah well…
