    What does the rehabbing entail exactly, Lisa? Posted 5 years ago

      We had to do clearing for our homesite (2 years ago?), so we were left with bare soil. This means that it is prone to erosion and nutrient loss, so we purchased some local untreated hay bales and spread it over some of the areas to prevent any further damage and to start new nutrient deposition. I have also spread native grass seed in hopes of it coming up in spring. I still have a couple of other areas to rehab, but I've already seen progress with these (mushrooms like these, and plants popping up). Posted 5 years ago

          Yes! And the following year will be even more exciting as it will be time to plant native wildflowers! Posted 5 years ago

The Wood blewit

Lepista nuda is an edible mushroom, found in both coniferous and deciduous woodlands. It is a fairly distinctive mushroom that is widely eaten, though there is some caution about edibility. Nevertheless, it has been cultivated in Britain, the Netherlands and France.
