August is usually a brown month. The plants are spent and dried out, the ground parched. Not this year. An unusual amount of rain has kept everything nice and green as well as brought up an array of mushrooms around my town thatĀ I might not typically see.Ā I’ve got mushrooms on my mind lately because of the recent release of the remake of “The Beguiled,” a Clint Eastwood movie I saw on TV when I was a child that did for my feelings about mushrooms pretty much what “Jaws” did for my feelings about shallow water at the beach. (I’ve yet to see the Sofia Coppola-directed remake but I absolutely will – eventually.)
I’m too lazy to look up their names so here’s some interestingĀ and nameless mushrooms that caught my eye.
p.s. I am still having internet issues so forgive me in advance for not replying promptly to any comments. I do still like ’em!
