“… millions long for immortality who don’t know what to do with themselves
on a rainy Sunday afternoon.”
― Susan Ertz
It is amazing how quickly after a rain a mushroom sprouts its “fruit” and within a mere few hours
has “blossomed” into its full regalia.
And yes this one is indeed poisonous.
“Shower, O heavens, from above,
and let the skies rain down righteousness;
let the earth open, that salvation may sprout forth,
and let it cause righteousness to spring up also;
I the Lord have created it.
Isaiah 45:8
Yet they look so yummy.
I could never be a forager…as I’d sure enough pick some tasty looking something that would put me 6 foot under for sure!!! 🙂
I think I may have done just that. Sicker than a dog this morning 😞
Oh dear 🤢
Maybe food poisoning?
Well let’s pray it passes– literally- quickly
Me too!
I’ve always wanted to be one who could go out, seek and gather—but as soon as I did—I’d be a goner 🙂
Lol 😉
Love mushrooms, and the photos are food pornography! Delightfully mounted on a rabbit salad.
Still, I think it would be safer to grow mushrooms than to forage for them.
Wonderful photos! We have had an incredible amount of rain recently resulting in unusual flooding. I’m grateful for a couple of sunny days, yesterday and today so far. The quote by Susan Ertz is so appropriate in our society. Enjoy your day!
You too Lynda– I’m waiting in that sun 🌞☀️
Gad Zooks (Thanks Yukon Cornelius for that exclamation) … there be poisonous fungus among us
kind of like yellow snow, some things you just don’t eat 🙂
🙂
Amen and Amen 😅😎😍

I’m always amazed by how quickly mushrooms sprout up too! I had a dog once that would eat anything so I really had to be alert when letting him out back. A problem for sure if I had not yet had my morning coffee.
I looked up the mushrooms and discovered that they were indeed poisonous—the fellow who’s info I was reading was a mushroom guru and he explained that most dogs, particularly young dogs and young children opt to explore via taste—and so it is imperative to keep and eye out when the mushrooms are “blooming”!
Gives new meaning to casually walking the dog… 🙂
Pictures are great in detail Love the quote about people who long for immortality who don’t know what to do on a Sunday afternoon! Boring people are often bored and boring themselves.
Great photos. I love finding mushrooms after the rains. 🙂 ❤
