Mysterious Mushrooms. Yum!

Have you seen or read some good documentaries/scientific articles on them? Do share.

(Note for Clarification:

These are store bought mushrooms, photographed for their unique growth, posted as a conversation starter. I am not referring to these specific mushrooms, but to all mushrooms with the adjectives: magnificent, mysterious….b/c of how they grow & live, their amazing capabilities & properties etc… We are still learning so much from them & about them. M. Pollan’s book about them is good, there is also a documentary on it- I am sure there are more & it’s a worthwhile conversation to have. )

Brilliant humans!

Emerging.

Child of the earth or Jerusalem cricket. This is Normally a nocturnal desert insect. I have only seen them twice in 17 years. An initially scary looking insect, they pose no threat to humans & are a fascinating creature.

They are not small & one of those engineering feats of nature.

The Wizard of Oz Book. Hardcover. 1980. By L. Frank Baum. 220 pages

A Classic!

This cool old copy has been loved, there is some shelf wear, a previous own name written on first page, a kid scribbled on & tore out two blank pages at the rear of the book. There are few tiny stains/ from coffee maybe? Its an as-is copy. Priced accordingly.

It sounds worse than it is because I listed the flaws. But I love wabi sabi vintage items- its authentic, and you know it had a good life so far being read and enjoyed. I would still add it to your collection if you collect wizard of oz books.
