My Garden is Making Me Blush......

The side effect of all of this crazy rain (13.75 inches since last Tuesday), is the abundance of mushrooms growing all over my wooded areas. One type in particular, Phallus impudicus, is stopping traffic, and not necessarily in a good way. There are dozens of them growing all over my garden, and they are pretty hard to miss.......not the sort of thing you want popping up everywhere when you're hosting the group of gardening helpers for the day.....

Hopefully they have a short growing season......

  1. hehe, I will refrain from any tacky comments. I just noticed a mushroom in our gravel driveway as I left this morning. I'm going to try and photograph it this evening.

  2. LOL, that's pretty funny, even the botanical name. I just heard on the news how much rain you've gotten!!
