A couple years ago i did a full, step-by-step “how to make a turducken” post on facebook, with pictures of every step of the gross process. They’re not hard, just time consuming, and they are *delicious*. If you’ve wanted to make one: www.facebook.com/share/17duYJ...

After a couple days of hippies not stealing those amanita muscarias under cover of night, i decided, hey, i’m hippie!
But i grabbed some to make spore prints, because that’s more fun than gettin blitzed. I think i left them too long, but its still pretty.

We went to the PNW Wild Mushroom Expo today and I really loved these long table displays set up with fresh mushrooms, leaf mould, sticks, moss, and labels. It was a really fun way to realize that yes there are one billion types of mushrooms out there in the world.

We drove out to the country to see the comet tonight and the viewing was just astounding through our small scope and binoculars. I brought my SLR to try and get pictures but forgot a wrench so i couldn’t move the wedge plate from the scope to the camera. At least i got this derpy phone pic 😹😹😹
