Let’s just say that my yard is AWASH in mushrooms.

Enchanted indeed! Week 4 of almost got me with the “something enchanted” prompt but I didn’t let myself think too hard and went with some magic mushrooms….or something like that.

Of course, there’s a video on YouTube of the whole make: https://youtu.be/SQ7hRwcFOvw

Y’ALL!
The temps have dropped a touch so I felt called to tromp around the property for a mushroom hunt. And, heeding that call was well-rewarded!

It’s amazing what you can find in your own backyard (or in mine!!)
