Rain gardens and mushrooms
Monday, September 15, 2008
After the downpours associated with Tropical Storm Fay, interesting mushrooms (in all shapes and sizes) appeared here locally.
Up in the mountains this weekend, I saw even more. It's so remarkable to consider that most of a fungus is below ground; what we see is the reproductive structure, whether it's a 'mushroom' or one of the others.
I also saw some great rain garden plantings -- this Joe Pye relative is glorious next to a parking lot.
