I love "Non-Modern Restrooms" as a euphemism!

Might be a silky rosegill... But... mushrooms are notoriously variable and some extremely poisonous ones may look just like edibles other than spore prints or other technical points... I really hesitate to make fungus IDs due to such problems.

As a German mushroom hunter famously said, "Oh, you can eat -ALL- mushrooms... Some only ONCE!"

Christmas has come early. Another Bingham journal. 😁

I like learning new words. In the UK we also have an idiom "it's blowing a hoolie" for the kind of winds that send you sideways. The words may or may not have a common route, but I hope they do. I like the idea of a party that creates temporary havoc with all upright things.
