Mushrooms or Martians?
We have rain. For the first time in months. Two drops, and now we’ve got mushrooms in the courtyard. That’s the way New Orleans is. Nothing by halves.
These are not your everyday button-cute mushrooms (see my previous sentence). These are huge mushrooms. White with round tops like Martian ships. Big Martian ships, hovering together. Calling to their friends. Planning for the Invasion of the Martian Mushrooms.
We are all in big ass trouble now.

Those are some mushrooms! Or are they toadstools? I love that word: toad’s stool.

Good question! Maybe not Martian Mushrooms at all but Extraterrestrial Toadstools. Little ETs in my backyard. Perhaps more dangerous in their adorableness…

I shall, unless they come at me all at once and, before I can crawl to my computer, I am down…

Thanks for the chuckle 🙂 Every so often I see a new (to me) kind of fungi in our yard. They are fascinating and I love taking photos of mushrooms. A couple of years ago a neighbor showed me a giant mushroom in another neighbor’s yard. It was bigger than a dinner plate 🙂

Mushroom by day, Martian by night. Comes with its own spaceship. Very flexible. I believe your neighbor found their Supreme Leader. 🙂

Too bad they aren’t chanterelles.;0

That will be next. They will come disguised as wonderful, edible mushrooms…one bite, and we’re whisked into the spaceship.
