The Big Mushroom Is Still There

Back in October I did a post about a Giant Puffball (Calvatia gigantea). Today while out roaming about I came upon that same Puffball. Very old, looking like a ball broken open and filled with powdered cocoa. I had wondered what happened to it. Apparently not much. Just a great change in its color. From a lovely white to cocoa.

  1. Happy New Year. I’m reading a book which I think you would love as well: ENTANGLED LIVES, about all sorts of fungi.

    1. Hi Barbara! So WONDERFUL to hear from you. I’ve been thinking of you, intending to drop you a line, but of course not getting around to it. I hear via our precious Kumud that you have had a hard time recently. I am hoping you are well on your way to being on the mend.

      I’ve been thoroughly enjoying the snow we had a week ago yesterday, along with the frigid temperatures that have managed to keep the snow from melting. If it’s not obvious, I love winter!

      Hoping that you are loving being where you are now – so far from here!

      Thank you for the book suggestion. I’m going to have to get it. AND DEAR BARBARA, thank you so much for reading my posts.

      Sending many many hugs,
      Bren
