Is that what is commonly called Spanish moss? The stuff I'm talking about, on the ground, is the garden variety green stuff.
No, moss moss, which is completely unrelated to Spanish
OK, the green, ground cover stuff.
moss. I couldn't imagine a mushroom being hosted by that
aerial stuff.
Likewise.
I mean, it's possible, but they'd have to be
pretty little.
The logs were either taken away (most of them) or run thru a chipper
and > are in a big pile in our back yard, composting. We've (and our
neighbors) take from this pile for mulch/ground cover for bushes,
flower > beds, etc but not noticed any fungi yet.
Eventually, though it may take a long time, untreated
dead wood will get colonized, and one can only hope
that what ends up growing there is a useful species.
Don't know; I've not been observing it that closely. IIRC, it was
established in spring of last year. Some stuff has been added since,
some taken away, but I've not noticed anything odd growing from it.
It's in the nature of the beast.
I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for them to propagate.
That's another experiment that could be done at no
cost and truly minimal effort, of course assuming a
year or ten hence you remember you've done it.
Depends on if we're still living here or not. Next year, a good chance
we would be but don't know about 10 years from now.
Of course there's always that uncertainty. The
sky might fall on my head, too.
But, I guess Express Scripts dodged the bullet with their suppliers.
Let's see what happens in the latest round of recalls.
So far, so good for me.
It seems Costco now would allow me to fill that
prescription - probably found a "clean" supplier. The
old-fashioned drug though makes almost as much sense,
and the likely effect will be the death of the valsartan
industry.

Thing is if the kid gets a green and yellow quilt, he
or she might end up a vegetarian!
Probably not. Mom is a nurse but the family has no qualms about eating
meat. I just didn't have enough pink/blue flannel scraps to do a quilt
in them.
I always hated green and yellow clothing.

To what doneness, just curious?
Haven't done any in years but most likely a medium rare. Don't seem to
see lamb as often as we did in HI.
Did you crisp up the exterior afterward?
People have noted my increase in upper body strength
between before and after this trip.
Will it be sustained?
My crystal ball is all clouded up.
Sounds about normal for most all of us. I'm just as glad I can't see
into the future.
If one could, that ability would increase anxiety for
some but decrease it for others. A pointless gift.

Skimming the "to me's" earlier, saw this and misread it as Barney Bars.
Ah, the joys of dimming eyesight and wishful thinking.
