Was there on Saturday night to see G Love and Special Sauce at the Kent Stage. Ate at my friend's brewery before - Belltower Brewing, and saw the co-op is still kickin'.

Always had dreams of becoming a townie of Kent, after living there for a couple years in the 90's. I still visit often as possible!

Hopefully y'all are able to see this. My videos have always failed on BS and so many exist! Just trying to bring a little joyous break from the daily...for all the people on the right side of history.💛

So proud of these winecaps grown in my garden.not a huge amount, but big (comments for size pic). ...hopefully more to come, as rains and cool are on the way. It's been such a dry summer in Ohio. Thanks to #northspore for the starters and also my #fungifriends

I put some garden tomatoes in the dehydrator to preserve them. These Purple Bumblebee slices look like stained glass!

2 buddy mushrooms, just hanging out next to a fallen tree; on the Valley floor. Leaf clutter surrounds them in loving way.

A sign protected by a plastic zip lock reads "Don't wack me bro" and has a badly drawn (typical) mushroom. This was for the landscape crew at my work; since there is a nice flush of Oyster mushrooms growing on and old stump. These are right next to the corpse finger mushroom I posted a few weeks ago. We only use organic lawn care - so no worries. This is the 3rd or 4th year these have produced and each time they are so good to take home and cook up.

A poorly drawn sign; at work, alerting the landscape dude Oysters are fruiting! Read the Alt text for a little more info.

Beautiful small Golden Oyster 🍄 cluster. The inidividual caps were no larger than a 50 cent piece.
