So much rain that mushrooms pop up at the base of Hot Cocoa.

Sort of like brown marshmallows in Hot Cocoa

We think they're edible because the squirrels tried to eat them.

Watch to see what happens to that squirrel...

Aerith...means your soil has some great fungi...roses will love that! They look like Bolette which I leave to the wildlife to take the chance on eating. Many years ago around Portland 3 people died of mushroom poisoning because a homecook was sure the mushrooms were edible, just so sad. I decided it was better to leave mushrooms to wildlife.

Annie, many kinds of mushrooms thrive in my garden in spring and fall, but we never thought about eating them.

After the crazy rainfall, the mushrooms seem to be very happy today. So glad that we'll have a couple of dryer days this weekend.

Hope that the squirrels are doing well.
