Artist's Comments

About a week ago, when taking my two dogs for a walk at the park, I noticed some kind of mushroom growth by this tree. The last few days it has really exploded and this is what it looks like today. It took me awhile to find out what it is and found out it is called Chicken of the Woods. The neat part is, this is edible. In fact, in several countries this is considered a delicacy. You want to get it when it is still soft and fleshy. This one may be just a little too late as parts of it were starting to look like it was decaying. I've eaten Puffballs before and I would like to try this the next time I find one.

Thank you so much for the comment and the :+fav:! Actually, I was thinking when I was taking these pictures that it was you that like mushrooms. And, for some reason, I thought I was watching you and just discovered I'm not. So, I had to go fix that. LOL :hug: =D

Thank you so much for the comment and the :+fav:! If it comes up every year and you like mushrooms, you will have to try it! I know I will. In trying to figure out what it was, I found this one website about mushrooms. I submitted two photos of this and they posted them on their website. You might find some useful information there.

You're very welcome for the comment and fave. I've just been out taking shots of them too but none as exquisite as this.

As for the watch...I've had some disappear that I was watching and others that were watching me disappear. I have no idea how it happens but I'm glad to have you back! :D
