    So jelly! Everything is dessicated and dusty here right now. Poor mushies (and everything else too) are suffering. We are very close to entering moderate drought now. :( Posted 5 years ago

      We have very few mushrooms, and most are crusty :(

      This one was definitely a lucky find, although I couldn't get any milk out of it.       Posted 5 years ago
