What a date - and, if I time it just right, this will be published at 11 a.m.
This post actually has absolutely nothing to do with the time, or date though. Being a mushroom-oholic I'm always on the lookout for interesting specimens (edible or not), and yesterday, whilst driving to the nearest town on a back road, I suddenly spied a nice sized clump of mushrooms in a field. I was pretty sure they were parasol mushrooms (edible) so had to stop for a look. Unfortunately, the field was all fenced off - not sure if it was electric fencing, but the fence was there for a reason, not only to keep animals in, but probably also to keep us out! Luckily there were three specimens at the side of the road (which didn't stay there very long - I love getting something for free!)
These two were tight round balls last night, so I put them in water hoping they'd open up today, and they do seem to be doing that. The third mushroom wasn't photographed - we ate it.
Might just have to go back today to see if there are any more. Mushroom omelette for lunch!
