This is National Mushroom Day! I didn’t know that, until I read it this morning, so I assume that’s right. Mushrooms are interesting little fungi that seem to appear overnight, after the ground has received quite a bit of rain. How did they get there? So far as I know, nobody has ever seen them pop up out of the ground. But, I wonder just what goes on in my yard at night when the moon is full and oak shadows lie across the grass? When the night owl hoots softly from his hiding place and a soft breeze whispers secrets to the leaves, what else happens when we humans are safely asleep indoors?
No one knows, of course, because no one sees. The mushrooms seem to pop up over night and nobody knows just how they got there, so I admire them and wonder–just what, exactly, happens when the moon sails overhead and the leaves shiver with the mysteries told them by the breezes? One can only imagine.
