More! Morels! Rick mowed the little piece of grass that I can’t reach with Johnny yesterday and found these:
A grandfather and grandson! Just growing in the grass, but adjacent to the flower bed where we found their “cousin” growing last week. Look how little the small one is next to my finger.
In this photo you can see how far apart they are growing from each other. See them? Big morel at the bottom of the photo; little one at the top in a direct line.
And, yes, we will be eating them ... soon.
These mushrooms were found growing in the backyard. I’m sure they have a name but we normally call this kind SBMs (small brown mushrooms). In other words, too hard to classify. No. We won’t be eating these.
As a side note: I sincerely hope no one was too upset by my “Morel” of the story the other day. My sister and Rick both found the story touching and sad. I guess my short story was a hit since I made my readers feel sympathy for a poor little mushroom!
