You Guys Will Never Believe This
You know that mushroom I was happily snapping pictures of? I got curious tonight and googled "orange mushroom white spots." It led me to a website about poisonous mushrooms, with a huge picture of a mushroom just like my mushroom right on top as a banner!!! Come to find out it's called an Amanita and its poison is one of the most deadly types found in nature. In fact, the website says, " Amanitas are the reason why there are no old, bold mushroom hunters." And this thing is growing in our front yard under the pine tree! Not that I think anybody's going to pop it into their mouth, but still. It's just really weird that we were all fascinated by it, not realizing how dangerous it is. There's gotta be a Sunday School lesson in there somewhere.
Here's the website where I got my info:
