365Caws is now in its 16th year of publication. If I am unable to post daily, I hope readers who love the natural world and fiberarts will seize those days to read the older material. Remember that this has been my journey as well, so you may find errors in my identifications of plants. I have tried to correct them as I discover them. Likewise, I have refined fiberarts techniques and have adjusted recipes, so search by tags to find the most current information. And thank you for following me!

Not Even A Button
Day 10: I hadn't expected anything when I made my first foray to Coprinus Corner about ten days ago. It's been too dry, but I had hoped to find a few Shaggymanes this morning, given that we've had almost an inch of rain over the last two days. It doesn't take much to pop them through the ground, and a friend reported seeing them near Olympia. Alas, my search was in vain. There was not even a single button in evidence. This is probably going to be a rather thin year for mushrooms, all things considered. My hike this morning was a short one (about a mile and a half), and there was simply no fungus of any sort to be seen. Tough times for an old Hobbit!
