Oct. 9th, 2014 08:23 pmThese are growing under our maple tree. I'd really like someone to tell me their edibility status. But I don't want just a guess, I want an absolutely positive, without-a-shade-of-a-doubt identification. Can we safely eat these for dinner? Or do we have to stop inviting babyfriends over to crawl in our yard?

The largest caps are maybe 5" across; the smaller ones are 2.5 or 3". I've never seen these in our yard before, but that side of the maple also dropped its leaves earlier than usual, so maybe the mushrooms are living on decaying roots.

majordomo's shoe.

My brother has written a game almost* all by himself, and it's awesome, and as of today you can buy it from the iTunes app store. It's like DDR for your fingers, but prettier. It's only $.99! ...If you're still not sure, you can watch a trailer here.
(Oh, and can I play it on your phone? 'Cause it'll be a while before it's available for my Android.)
*Mike did everything except the soundtrack, which is by a different Mike.
