Shroom-shroom


Hurricane Florence gave the District They Call Columbia a pass, but we’ve been getting a lot of rain, and it’s the tropical-temperatures kind of rain. You walk outside and your glasses steam up. Even in my house, where I’ve got two upstairs windows partway open, when you get halfway up the stairs, the bannister gets sticky.

So it’s no real surprise that fungi are having a field day around here.

For example, this mushroom growing atop one of the distance markers on the W&OD Trail:

So far no sign of a large boat with pairs of animals on it floating down the Toll Road, but I’m not ruling it out.
