I haven’t seen that! It’s when three kids hold a pony and one jumps on it bareback and hangs on for dear life.

😳🤠

I love it! My youngest could finally do the mutton busting this year. He was so excited. My two oldest (girl and boy) were on a team for the wild pony race.

That's really cool! What is a wild pony race? We had mule jumping tonight too - it was the first time I had seen that.

Have a great night!

Thank you! It was a good night! Were home now. Tonight was the kids mutton bustin' and mini bulls. Tomorrow night is the big bulls.

Every back road carries a memory. And every memory holds a song we used to sing. The world smiled at me. And this time I remembered to grin.

Wow!! Beautiful!!

(she also just had cataract surgery so not sure how her eyesight is on small screens as she recovers)

Good reference here and well written, full of interesting details

Thank you and her again!!

I’m sure her first recommendation would be to look into any mycological societies that might be active in your area, to learn techniques for identifying and caring for your wild mushrooms from people who have long experience. I think she was collecting for about five years before she really felt confident to start cooking and eating some of the less obvious edibles.

Yes, it is pretty intimidating! The Conversation Department has classes occasionally and I keep missing them for one reason or another.

Thank you!!

just heard back, she say, “They look like a clitocybe (gray cap or skunk mushroom), but things like spore color, color of stalk (stipe), smell, whether there is a ring, whether sticky or slimy, etc help determine the name. Edibility not recommended.”

Thank you. I looked up the clitocybe, and I am confident that isn't it. But I do appreciate the advice and suggestion. Does she have a mushroom id book that is super-thorough that she recommends?

I don’t do wild mushrooms. Gorgeous though!

I was trying to do #myco but then I saw one of the guys use #fungistr for some gourmet mushrooms and then there’s #shroomstr but I think that’s a different thing 😆

Thank you! I'll check those out. shroomstr🍄🤣

my mom is a long-time mushroom forager and amateur mycologist, I’ll ask her what she thinks

Are there any mushroom foragers out there? I am a complete beginner. I found this at the base of a dead oak in southeast Missouri. I believe it is either Hen of the Woods or Berkeley's Polypore. Is there an easy way to tell them apart? Is there a mushroom hashtag?

This is what happens when a flock of birds lands on the roof.
