Forages


We found about a 
half pound of Blewits, 
and a giant 
Lion's Mane, or
Bearded Tooth...

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While walking home along the railroad tracks, I spotted the first of these I've seen up close this fall....  He's a bit on the small side, only measured about 3/8" wide, and 1 1/2"long.   Some of them are twice this size, but none I"ve seen in a long time...
They must love heat, because so often you see them crossing the roads.
According to legend, this little guy 
indicates a cold snap in the fall and a long,
mild winter, and perhaps a colder than average Spring?
