Vancouver Island, Canada. This little gaffer flew into our window and I found him on the ground. I carefully placed him into one of our hanging baskets (we have cats). It took at least an hour before it finally flew off.
No, not the Joshua trees, I'll never survive! /s Love you too, fellow Lemming.
Go Lemmy. I'm actually okay with how it is now. Lemmy feels like an exclusive club where the members are more inviting and accepting than Reddit ever was.
Cute little tuxedo
He climbed up the 8 foot gate to catch his prey. Poor little mouse didn't stand a chance.
Yes, they are delicious. A pain to clean though, there must be a trick to it that I haven't figured out yet.
Oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus). I picked and dried a bunch two years ago and we've been adding them to soups and sauces. We're still alive and well.
We have a number of large piles of rotted wood chips on our land from about five years old when we had to clear a few trees. They produced quite a few two years ago, then nothing last year with the dry fall in our area. We're happy to see them again.
Thanks for your input and narrowing it down to agaricus. Agaricus augustus seems more prevalent in our area and matches the description on local online sites. This species is apparently edible but I'm afraid this particular one is well past its prime picking time.
I was thinking it was a deer also and maybe our dog spooked him off before he finished his meal. We have a lot of blacktail deer here. They eat everything, and our landscaping reflects their appetite.
Banana for scale. I was a little late to the party as it looks like something munched on it.
Found beside our raised garden bed on Vancouver Island. Not sure species, any guesses from the experts out there?
This is my first photo posted on Lemmy so excuse the amateur effort.
Enjoy that beauty while they're still in kittenhood. They grow up so fast!
Along with the occasional comment and vote, I talk about Lemmy with friends and encourage them to join, especially those still suffering with that other site that shall not be named.
Does Covid count? I still haven't caught it. Yet.
Using Connect for now and it's working well for me
