Wondering About Growing Things.

I noticed a couple of things yesterday and took some quick pictures.  The vine that is stretching out in the yard a long ways without any support fascinated me.  The end has started growing up.  Can you imagine the hydraulic pressure that is needed to support this vine?  To give you some perspective, there is a cardinal sitting in a mimosa tree.  My back yard is trying to take over. . .If I am ever missing, I may be tied up in vines in my own back yard.

 

 Moving in on the screened in back porch where my wife moved her plants in off the uncovered part of the deck to protect them from the yesterday's and last night's rain, I found some volunteers.  These mushrooms are very small and it surprised me since the dirt was purchased and it came in large, sealed bags.  

 

 This second pot had two more of those fancy mushrooms but slightly smaller than the one in the view above.

 

 The third pot also had them, but they seemed to be even smaller.

 

My wife told me to pull them out, so I did but I told her that the mushrooms we see are only the fruiting bodies and the mycelium would still be growing in the soil.  I was surprised that bagged and sealed and processed soil would have mycelium in it or maybe just mushroom spores.  As you know from some of my older posts, I think that fungi, especially mushrooms, are beautiful and I like seeing them.  Of course not on the food I am going to eat, like moldy bread (grin).

 

It is amazing how much beauty you can find if you just look for it.  I hope today brings you lots of beauty.  Now, you all have a great day, you hear?
