If the shrooms disappeared over night, then they were in a fairy ring. Who knows where they will re-appear. I understand that in rural France you can take mushrooms to a pharmacist who will pronounce them safe or otherwise. For the moment I am happy to just look.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8682178071645530840.post-61146348422206836182011-11-12T22:31:06.713-08:002011-11-12T22:31:06.713-08:00Isn't nature amazing - what a great discovery!...Isn't nature amazing - what a great discovery!

The thrid child died. <br />But then again, Cro's with garlic did sound delicious, didn't they??Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13063538863025012110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8682178071645530840.post-63005067601326534652011-11-05T15:42:46.710-07:002011-11-05T15:42:46.710-07:00Hang on - are they inky?
