I am working on Alan Moore’s run of Swamp thing. I love the art style of the time, nice and simple with bold colors.

With the white spores this is likely an Armillaria sp.

This would be one hell of an amanita! This guy is 12 inch across. It turned more yellow over time, I think this is just a vibrant process of spores being formed in the tissue. It was very interesting to watch.

When I was young and broke, I went on a backpacking trip in Washington State. I did not have checked luggage so I needed to buy a knife once I landed. I rolled into Walmart in the middle of the night as that was the cheapest flight. I asked the 18 year old, likely counter strike obsessed, behind the counter to give me the cheapest knife they had. I was given a karambit, for some reason I rolled with it. Thankfully I never had to defend myself from a mountain lion or bear with that as I do not think I would of gotten far. I did however kinda feel like a ninja so it was not all bad.

I have always wanted to try a sheep foot profile, so I picked on up. Thanks for the nice review as always.

I love these guys. Feel like umbrella’s for small creatures.

What is your recipe?

Nice. Have you ever made pasta with these? I saw a recipe of using the ink and it looked interesting.

They grow at the base of oak trees and are very unique in appearance. Feel free to share some photos over and I can confirm for you.

That is a big boy!

Thanks for getting some more to share. I am throwing my hat in with the Armillaria from whoever said that yesterday(veil and white spores), I’ll do some digging tonight though as I am not familiar with this part of the world.

I am curious. Anyone know what this guy is?

This is making me get very close to finally buying a Spyderco. I have enjoyed the cheap waters of fake 110 Buck knife knock offs from pawn shops too long. I can make my Microtech fantastic Uncle proud for once.

Thank you as always, I love reading these.

Thankfully he is just being a ding dong standing on uneven ground, keeping watch for squirrels. Your dad is right about ubiquitous as I just walked the woods again and they popped up everywhere.

Maybe an older resinous polypore but I am not the best with shelf fungus. Hope that helps.

Oh yea, I had a nice meal.

The veiled bolete is very cool. Great picture.

You may already know but old man of the woods bruises a deep red, always cool to see or show kids.

That is a ghost pipe. He is not a mushroom but a parasitic plant. Just recently people started losing it over ghost pipe tincture, I have been in the woods all my life and had not heard people doing anything with them.

I was just talking to my uncle about those spectacular QVC knife shows. I have fond memories of watching them in a hotel room as a youngin while traveling on vacation with my brother. Thanks for keeping up the good fight and sharing these for all of us to see.
