Fugitive Fungi


There's fungus among us! Yesterday I ventured down into our dark and musty basement and found this little guy hiding at the bottom of the stairs!! It's a little scary that our basement proves to be a good habitat for fungus and mold alike...

This little toadstool had fallen over so I picked him up and gave him a new home in one of my terrariums! He looks quite dashing among the moss and ferns. I'm not sure how long he'll last but for now he's making me quite happy! :)

Careful, you'll get a jarful of fairies, they'll want to come and sit on that toadstool!

He is a cute little mushroom...glad you took pity on him and had him live in your terrarium (much better than your scary sounding basement - I can't believe he grew down there...what else could be lurking!!???!!)
