I have been noticing a lot of mushrooms around the neighborhood and more than that- all the different kinds of mushrooms and their large sizes!
Kristy noticed the same thing and provided these little ones with a wonderful nature time collecting many varieties.
I don't know what the difference between a mushroom and a toadstool is, but the shapes and colors of many of these fungi lent themselves precisely to the storybook notion of a fairy's toadstool.
We were all aware that mushrooms in the wild are often highly dangerous, at least that's what the legend says and what we told the kids. We made sure that no sampling was going on.
After they had a ball going all around the yard collecting them, Kristy laid them out according to type and what a wondrous variety there was. None of us have ever seen so many different kinds growing at one time before and in such profusion.
