Magnificent Mushrooms! #11
DISCLAIMER: This post is for information and interest only and is not a definitive guide to mushroom identification. If you want to pick wild mushrooms to eat you should go with someone who is experienced so you can learn which mushrooms are edible and which are not.
Hello everyone! Welcome back to our Magnificent Mushrooms post! It has been a couple of weeks since our last mushroom post. Today we have the Ivory Waxy Cap mushroom. It is basically a pure white mushroom that is somewhat translucent, so light shines through it quite nicely. It can be hard to tell the difference between the 3 main wax cap mushrooms we have in this area.

This one can grow about 3 to 4 inches (7.5 to 10cm) tall and the cap can be up to 3 inches (7.5cm) wide. This one can be slimy, especially if it is wet. The only time I have encountered these was in an area of White Pines, close to our river. There were a number of them scattered over quite a large area, growing among the decaying pine needles.
They are considered edible, but have no flavor, and they can be easily confused with species that are toxic, so it is best to leave them alone. They grow from August to October in our area and seem to really like a wetter and cooler fall. Have a wonderful day everyone and God bless!

Muffin’s Midweek Fun! #109
Hi everyone!😻 I back with some more fun funnies for filling your day with some fun! Ohh, it such cold, rainy day here. Good day for napping with my human while he using his laptop. Except he keep moving around all the time. He keep typing and stick elbow in my back which wake me up. Then he like drinking coffee so he have to keep getting up to get more coffee and that wake me up. Then I have to wait till he come back before I lie down again or he try to sit right on top of me. He try that this morning and boy, did he jump! Claws come in handy for so many things! hehehe!😹😹 Here is funnies now…

Two cab drivers met.
“Hey,” asked one, “what’s the idea of painting one side of your cab red and the other side blue?”
“Well,” the other responded, “when I get into an accident, you should see how all the witnesses contradict each other.”

I want to be like a caterpillar. Eat a lot. Sleep for a while. Wake up beautiful.

Recently, I bought a cartridge for my printer. It came in a box mounted on a card and wrapped in plastic. When I took it apart, I found that the printer cartridge itself was actually quite small, but they made the packaging unnecessarily large to make it harder to steal and to make the customer feel better about the high price.
I pointed this out to my wife and mentioned how my weight gain over the years of our marriage should have the same effect: It made me seem more valuable and also made me harder for other women to steal.
She’s still laughing.
======
I can’t exercise, because when I do, I start to sweat and burn off fat; it smells like bacon and makes me hungry.
======
Have you ever noticed that the people who say “To make a long story short…” never actually do that?

Children don’t actually sleep; they just recharge.

The flight attendant watched a passenger try to stuff his hopelessly overloaded bags into the overhead bin. Finally she informed him that he would have to check the oversize luggage.
“When I fly other airlines,” he said irritably, “I never have this problem!”
She smiled and said, “Sir, when you fly other airlines, I don’t have this problem either.”
======
That all for today everyone, hope you have wonderful day with time for naps!
Muffin. 😽
