It's back


Last year for the first time in my knowledge, a jack-o-lantern mushroom grew on the Vineyard. The official name is omphalotus olivascens. It does not normally grow in the East; usually you see it only in California. This year's mushroom, pictured above, is larger and more beautiful than last year's crop.

I remember it well as one of the first posts I ever read on your blog. I'm glad it has survived, and bigger than ever.
