Walking Stick



     We've lived in our home for 19 years and this is only the second walking stick I've seen here.  This one was ambulating across our screened-in porch a few weeks ago.  He (or she) was hard to miss at 7 or 8 inches from tip to tail.  In the right environment, he would blend right in.

Honey mushroom


Lycoperdon perlatum


Grifola frondosa
