Oh good. I was wondering when some more mushrooms would show up.
Those are oyster mushrooms, probably some more of those invasive yellow oysters from Asia that we saw here a few weeks ago (Pleurotus citrinopileatus).
They are quite delicious, and this batch looks to be at the peak of their freshness and desirability. If you don't want them, you ought to supply some GPS coordinates for your local readers to go out and grab them for supper tonight or tomorrow.
Take note, however: like most wild mushrooms, this species needs to be fully cooked and not eaten raw.
They can often be found quite high on the trunks of dead or dying trees that are still standing upright. The best way to get them when they are out of reach is with a length of high-strength monofilament fishing line attached to a lead sinker or other heavy, throwable object. 80-lb line is what I use. Toss the weight up and over the mushrooms and then saw downwards through their bases with the fishing line. They will fall right into your basket under the tree. With some practice and the right choice of fishing line and weight, you can reach mushrooms 30 or 40 feet above you without taking your feet off the ground.
Trump confused Nikki Haley and Kamala Harris at the NC rally a couple days ago. He said Harris wanted to “lift the retirement age”, nope, that was Nikki Haley. Harris never said she was in favor of lifting the retirement age, that was Nikki Haley.
Slightly off topic, bur whatever happened to the Spotted Lanterfly? A couple of years ago the experts were telling us that it was about to destroy the Earth and everything on it, but I haven’t seen a single one this year.
I guess the Dems have decided to push the "Trump is old" talking points for a couple days. I do appreciate Inga's slavish devotion to following her orders, just like the ol' Kommisars she emulates so well.
Remember that Inga is not here for any genuine discussion of the issues, she just wants to make sure that we don’t miss any of her party’s talking points. She probably gets notifications from some political action group that she belongs to to spread this stuff.
Personally, was happy to hear that the US is not at war anywhere, from Joe Biden in his speech, so I was wondering when we are going to stop occupying Syria’s oil fields, and how, exactly, are we going to beat Putin when we are not at war with Russia, and I think that when we get to be “not at war” with China, that’s gonna be lit.
Maybe Inga can explain why Biden’s statement was anything other than a brazen lie.
I'm not the one bitching and complaining about what people say and ignoring what they do Inga. Keep believing the hoaxes you keep jabbering about. Go back to MSDNC and spew your nonsense there. Nice of you to attack me for not being able to have children. How very tolerant of you...NOT.
Oh, I’m very sorry that I didn’t join in the conversation about fungi, but these sorts of posts are generally open threads. I followed tcrosse’s example @2:45 in veering from a strict fungi discussion.
“Nice of you to attack me for not being able to have children. How very tolerant of you...NOT.”
Dear childless cat lady…
It was YOU who said you were proud to be a childless cat lady and you who criticized liberal childless cat ladies if they were insulted and hurt by JD Vance’s stupid comment.
“I have a name Inga. Grow up. I am done with you. You are a child. I feel really bad for your kids.”
Dear childless catlady…
I sometimes think that God knew what he was doing when he didn’t bless some women with children. Some advice, if you want to play rough with the cat you might get scratched.
In all fairness I posted my double dactyl under the impression that this was a cafe thread. If Inga gets criticized for violating the purity of the thread, then I should be, too. You will wait a long time before I defend Inga again.
Dan Bongino reports thru his sources at the Secret Service that Ronald Rowe Jr., the man who replaced Kimberly Cheatle, is the person who was responsible for refusing requests from the Trump detail for additional assets.
Dear tcrosse, I have been a lurker on this blog for years - going back to the blossoming of Meadhouse romance. I break radio silence to applaud you and the first double dactyl on any subject I have EVER seen in the wild. BRAVA.
I love this series, and here is my thank you for it--the story of Mary Banning, a mushroom-hunting miracle woman of the 1800s. It's going to be a chapter in my next book but I put it up on my site now instead of later thinking that Professor Althouse might enjoy it. Here's hoping, anyway: https://www.secretsoftheeasternshore.com/mary-banning-mushroom-hunter/

Gol darn, them thar rooms would spice up this mawrnings run of shine sumthin special.
Has the Professor going Hillbilly on us? I blame watching J D Vance speeches and walks way out in the woods.

Kamala Harris, the
Democrat Candidate
quite by default.
Take her pronouncements
On border security
and has-beens unburdened
With plenty of salt.
Speaking of fungi…

Inga give it a break. This is about Fungi, not Trump. We know you can't get him out of your mind. At least try...or get help for your rabid TDS.
I was about to say “it’s always a good day when it’s FOD day” but then I read Inga’s post.

Maybe Covid ate it.

“Inga give it a break. This is about Fungi…”
Dear childless cat lady…
Tell that to tcrosse@2:45.

It is about fungi. That MIGHT be the reason Inga is spouting about things off topic...
Plus she gets the facts wrong, too.
tcrosse@2:45…
Sheesh! This thread is about fungi!

Loser Biden says "Trump is a threat to the nation" prior to ass attempt
Not a joke, the idea!

Maybe think for yourself for once, instead of being a follower. You may learn something.

Do note that, rumor has it, she gets paid by the word.

BRAVO, if you please.

Chases the fungi
Assiduously
With husband accompanied
Shoots them at sunrise
And posts them that evening
For lurkers to see.
I'm the only one on the whole thread who gives a shit about the actual fungi. Of course it's a cafe post. Run wild, kids!
Oh, I beg your pardon, all that childless kitty static in the conversation got me a bit confused as to who is what. My apologies.
And if I may borrow a better poet's work, a toast:
Higgeldy Piggeldy
Poet John Hollander
Spent a long life melding
Meter and rhyme
Foiling the critics, he
Double-dactylically
Changed the ridiculous
To the sublime.
Trump confused Nikki Haley and Kamala Harris at the NC rally a couple days ago.
Let me know when he defeats Medicare.

I can appreciate his mistake. Someone would have to explain any meaningful differences to me...

Not my full name

Trolling the leftists
Who shill for the Democrats
Always on hand
When Republicans pounce.
"Do note that, rumor has it, she gets paid by the word."
Sadly, she's run through her vocabulary.
For sure some species of Pleurotus.

Every time Inga posts one of her stupid lies she drives another decent human being to vote for Trump.
Don't let these spoil sports hold you back Inga. Let your murderous evil dishonest freak flag fly.
