WOW! What a spectacular mushroom!
So what kind did Elen send you? And they transplanted to the garden OK? Any special requirements for that?
I don’t think I ever identified Elen’s mushroom. I just took the whole mycelium mass, dug a hole in the corner of the herb patch outside the kitchen, and buried it. It produced a few mushrooms during the winter, but I left them in place so they would spore.
It’s resting at the moment, but since we’ve had all this rain, I expect it to do something in the next month or so.
We might go to the park later to look at the ephemeral wetlands, but I had my eyes dilated, so it will have to wait a few hours.
