Mushrooms: Who can name them?

Who's been seeing mushrooms?

Mary Carole McCauley has this story on the 2011 bumper crop of super-creepy mushrooms that have been sprouting up everywhere, both in alarming numbers and in sick-making variety.

Seems like there's a "scientific" "reason" for them, scientists say.

I asked around, and my friend Thomas Dunn sent me this photograph of mushrooms he and some of his friends hiking around his family cabin in Pennsylvania. Gross!!

I labeled a few of these nauseous things. Anyone cafe to make an I.D. on them.

And speaking of mushrooms, don't forget that Birches is closing down on Sunday, for good.
