It's not just those particular ones, but *any* mushroom that you do not know well, in a region that you haven't thoroughly studied for a long time, can easily be lethal.

God I used to love those so much. Until we found out they can kill you. My dad's family has been eating them for years and years and years and they're all fine ; u ;
I want to eat them againnnn.

Whaaaat? Y'all been eating poison mushrooms for years and didn't get sick? How even..

My family members aren't ones to eat random mushrooms they find don't worry :3
These ones in particular have been thought to be fine, or we cook them right, or something. Then people found out they could be lethal, and we weren't allowed to eat them anymore
Maybe, given that we never ever got sick they might actually be safe where we find them? ARE there any places where it's safe to eat them?

Yeah we never even got tummy aches. From what I understand of this particular variety, it can be like a cup; it builds up and it's fine until you eat just one more than you can hold, and then you keel over. Or something. I might have that completely wrong. :/

Yeah man, I read a lot about the big red false morels. I almost ate some just to know what it tasted like, in fact I took a bunch home, but I decided it wasn't worth the risk even-though the toxicity is accumulative. I did pickle some Devil's Urn, though. Can't say I'll do that again.

My goodness gracious

The garden is coming along. All borders and fence posts installed.



I'll be putting stepping stones in between the two borders.

^^ That is AWESOME!!!


Garden dining!



Date with my son in the garden:

Trying to finish this special request Goku, but his face seems off still...
I'm afraid to ink it until I am sure.

love this. I have been thinking of doing something similar in our back yard. Would be a great water saver.

Spring

Another set of spring photos

I had to pack everything from my dorm room into my car for the summer. Usually I have a lady from my church store some of the bigger items for me, but they were doing construction in the storage area, so I had to take everything except my fridge. I have no idea how I got it all in, to be honest. I don't think there was another cubic inch of space available in the car that wasn't in my lap.



Notice the hole so I can see through the rear view mirror. Safety first, of course!

Beautiful afternoon down in the Inner Harbor (Baltimore, MD)

April showers bring May flowers

Spoiler for funstuff:

Lemonade from the festival:


Thumb piano I bought at the festival:


Special hat given to me as a gift:


My new favourite shirt, reads "a dog is the only thing in the world that loves u more than u love yourself":


My Grandmother's irises (the purple ones haven't popped yet):



Food at Grandma's cookout (burger with cinnamon, goat cheese and cranberry inside, and the cake is black walnut and spice combined, with homemade maple frosting) yummmmmm:



This outfit is like colour therapy. I put it on and somehow my mood immediately lightens, plus it goes perfect with my seahorse necklace:

And to top it all off I spotted a rainbow!


...Turns out it had a veeeery faint twin that I was sadly unable to capture with this camera. I saw it while out running errands, and at the same time I got a text from Ray saying it was arching RIGHT over top of my apartment building.

Chicago, IL

Went to the Goodwill for the first time aaaaages, and remembered why I stopped going there so often. Even though I made out like a bandit, that place really hits my impulse buy button way too hard!

I bought these for .59¢ a piece:

They are all great, but the Selfish Giant made me cry at the end...

Also these, for .79¢ a piece:


This too:


Oh, and this:

Spoiler for happy fun things:

Finally replaced my good.for-nothing "pillows" with some bright and comfortable new ones:



Re-organized my dresser:


Managed to catch the sunset for a change:



Spidey! xD (she's riveted because I have a treat in my hand)


Fun beer (sour too):


For another day, to go with the yum shroomies:
