Part Two: Nature XXV THE MUSHROOM is the elf of plants, At evening it is not; At morning in a truffled hut It stops upon a spot As if it tarried always; And yet its whole career Is shorter than a snake's delay, And fleeter than a tare. 'T is vegetation's juggler, The germ of alibi; Doth like a bubble antedate, And like a bubble hie. I feel as if the grass were pleased To have it intermit; The surreptitious scion Of summer's circumspect. Had nature any outcast face, Could she a son contemn, Had nature an Iscariot, That mushroom,---it is him. -Emily Dickinson

Apparently, the "wild things" grow in my yard. I found this growing in my yard last summer. A two-headed little beasty. Is there anyone out there who can tell me what type of fungal creature this is?

Wow...that *is* wild! I don't have a clue what kind of fungus it is, though I do enjoy photographing the variety of mushrooms and other "fungal creatures" that pop up around Pollywog Creek. Cool photo!

Hello! I am new to homeschooling my girls. My oldest is 12 and my youngest is 9. How old were they when you started. Do you have any wisdom or advice.

Blessings,

Renee
