Mushrooms
Monday, November 7, 2011 at 7:00AM Crazy weather we've been having, sunny and bright then cold, dark and gloomy. But I have noticed that there are a lot of mushrooms in the garden. Big white ones, bright orange ones and then the little tiny taupey brown ones that look like a fairy should be popping out from underneath. These sightings are just testament to all the wet weather we've been having and ideal conditions for mushroom growth. I enjoy looking at them, but some customers just want to get rid of them. Typically they go away when conditions are not ideal. Raking them around may just spread spores. Obviously, do not pick for dinner. Only people knowledgeable about mushrooms should consider them for consumption. There are local clubs for mushroom fanatics. I believe Beechwood Farms hosts some gatherings there for a mushroom club. Check it out.
