Friends & Fungus

Thanks to our new friends for hosting one of our best, easiest, most natural playdates ever. Who said the internet takes away from human interaction? Without it we wouldn't have found you.

-----------------

More about the turkey tail mushrooms here and here and here, as well as many other places. I once saw a talk by Christopher Hobbs where he listed turkey tail as one of the top five medicinal mushrooms. I dry mine to use in soup stock, removing it before making the soup — it's very woody.

Yeah, I like the internet too for it's way of connecting people.
I haven't been on-line as much lately due to a minor cold...but I can tell you I definitely miss my on-line connecting when I don't get to log-on.
I like your new header! Great combo!

Wow! I never realized these were edible! I collect fungi (and lichen) and set it out on our nature table. We will have to try it in soup. Thanks for the info!
