Yep, I'd say that's a mighty fine day's "haul"! :)
That is one huge mushroom you described!
My gosh! I can't imagine?!
Sounds like a good idea for a science fiction thriller!
... something like "Godzilla Meets the Giant Fungi" ?! :)

Since visiting CA, I've been keeping up with Four Vines on Facebook! I noticed that "Farmstand Forty-Six" has a tasty menu available! The "Mushroom Stuffed Roasted Eggplant" sounds like something I would like. For Christmas I'm preparing a meatless Lasagna - substituting eggplant, mushrooms and zucchini! :)

Regarding how some commercial varieties of mushrooms are grown, all I gotta say is "eewwww"! Maybe I need to learn more about harvesting them from the wild in a more natural habitat?! :) But, you're not the first I've heard add caution to the possibilities of getting hold of the wrong types of 'shrooms. Makes me think about the first individuals who discovered just how deadly some varieties can be? Just the term alone - "seeping sludge" - sounds terrible!

And, you're welcome regarding the videos! I learn alot just by visiting here - reading through the various posts. I must admit though to oftentimes having to consult a dictionary or do a search via YouTube or the 'net when reading through some of your posts! You have definitely served as a means for increasing my vocabulary and general knowledge in many areas! :)

... "happy hunting"! :)
And, I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas!
- BC

Found an article ..
don't know if this might be the 'shroom to which you were referring Stewart ...
but, it's a "monster" all the same! :)

Geez, I'm beginning to wonder if I should rethink and adjust my vacation plans for next summer?!
I had originally wanted to attend the Rose Festival and Dragon Boat races in Portland, Oregon - maybe head southward down the coastline after that?!
I guess as long as the "monster" stays underground I'll be OK though?!
Wonder if that has anything to do with the earthquakes out in that part of the country?! :)
Nah! :)
But, I still think it would make a good "sci-fi thriller" ! :)
