Now this is something new...

October is, of course, mushroom season and I see lots about the yard especially by the old tree stump, but I've never seen them around the low stone wall in the driveway.  These are the type that the squirrels love to nibble.  Now, some people claim that if you see a squirrel eating a mushroom it must be safe for you to eat.  Not true!   Squirrels can eat mushrooms that contain poisonous toxins without being affected, including the invasive death cap mushroom brought to North America with tree saplings over a century ago.  So, I'll just leave these for the squirrels.  We had our first, light, frost last night but a nice warm-up is on the way.
