Thanks, Dave, but I don't know about "cool". Your cooler, damper climate is much better suited to mushrooms than ours.

Many years ago when I was at Uni, I worked a Christmas Vac for a farmer (Tobacco, Maize, Dairy & Potatoes). He kept me very busy. Anyway he closed off the area under a tobacco curing barn built on a slope & tried button mushrooms but they just wouldn't grow. Then, one night, there was a hell of a storm and the side wall of the undercroft went down along with most of the mushroom trays. Two days later there were mushrooms growing everywhere in the open. I think it was a ventilation problem?

That's a cool photo.

I'm going to have to show this one to my daughter tomorrow.  She's really interested in 
mushrooms, they're growing all over the place here.  She really enjoys helping the adults 
do a "health and mushroom check" at her preschool.

Due to the weather we walked home yesterday and in addition to a few good 
patches of mushrooms we saw a few instances of hairy fungus growing out of 
dung, most likely cat but possibly dog.  We certainly don't have any elephants 
around here.

Cheers,
Dave
