I likie this as a minor key because it is one virtue. It is concise. Something to be admired, especially in this age. Thank you for kind remarks. I appreciate them greatly, I really do. Regards, Gerard.

Is that the one that thrives on cattle dung? LOL The haiku is good. The mushroom is dangerous. Maybe even deadly. You have written some very interesting haiku recently, James. Smiles, Dane Ann

Good Haiku James, one must know the mushrooms there are many different varieties. Some are good to eat, some are poisonous while others will make you awfully sick. Here on my property I have quite a variety. Enjoyed as always. Keep writing! Love Light Patty

Would have to look that one up. I have heard of those but have never heard of the scientific name. Not far from my home several years ago some teens gathered some from a cow pasture and what they thought they were they were not. They ended up nearly dying. Keep the educational and informational writes coming forth. Sara

Have you been brushing up on your botany, James? We could sure learn from the haikus you've posted today. These are new plants to me! Interesting new style for you too, my dear. Love, Carolyn
