This is the 15th year of continuous daily publication for 365Caws. All things considered, it's likely it will be the last year as it is becoming increasingly difficult for me to find interesting material. However, I hope that I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world with my natural history posts, or encouraged a novice weaver or needleworker. If so, I've done what I set out to do.

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!
