YARD PRODUCES SEVERAL FUNGI

Often refered to as the orchard fungi. They have a specal relationship between themselves and rotting apples. Then along came fungicides that literally killed them all. I've lived here over forty years. The property was formely an orchard. We have apple trees and this is where this jewel was found.

Some claim this is the best fungi bar none. Last night we changed the menu to use them in a gravy.

When I was young mom canned these by the quarts. Everyone else did too.
Now there are almost none due to fungicides. We left two out there to produce the spore from which others may grow next year.
