A few days ago I was in our yard in Boise and I happened upon this mushroom growing close to an old tree stump. I had never seen one just like this before. I snapped a photo of it to show anyone who might be interested in such a thing. I hardly think it may be edible. It could cause a severe bellyache or possibly eternal slumber.

This is one of a dozen or more chipmunks present in our yard. This seems to have been a good year for the little guys. Everywhere I go on the ranch they scurry out of my way. There are so many of them that they have almost become pests. I call them “little ratlets.”
I shouldn’t blame them for the numbers in my yard , however, since I feed birds and food is available for them. Rodents have a trait of gathering, and cache food for later use. The problem is they haul off the food before the birds have had their fill. OH WELL, they’re cute little guys and provide us with a lot of entertainment.
