Finally... mushroom!

While walking Shiloh past the local Pasadena Fire/Police Substation, I noticed several familiar-looking mushrooms growing in front of the building. Without getting into specific identification, these look an awful lot like the edible boletes one would normally have found this past mushroom season in Pagosa (if there had been a mushroom season in Pagosa).

However, given that there's no telling what kinds of chemicals, if any, that the city sprinkles on the ground around the station (e.g., fertilizers, pesticides, etc.) and that these mushrooms are growing about 15 yards from a four-lane divided highway, I passed on harvesting them for possible consumption.

But one can dream, can't one?

Cheers...
