Not finding mushrooms season has begun

Yesterday it was nice enough out that the three human denizens of EHQ and their intrepid canine companion set off in the early evening in search of fungus. It seemed promising -- the temperature was right, it had rained significantly in the last week (though not significantly enough to flood the Den of Iniquity), the trees were in bloom, the may-apples were up. We went down the river trails near the house, where the ground was reasonably moist. But no mushrooms mushroomed. triadruid found two LBMs, but nothing else.

It was put forth that it's a shame we don't live somewhere where truffles grow, since the chaos hound has natural predilections for digging, and for finding things that are round and/or stinky. He'd be an ideal truffle pig. He'd eat the truffles before we could get to them, but that's another issue entirely.

So the quest for fungus continues. Perhaps we will have some time for mushroom hunting when we're out playing with the druids at the park later.

Also, ( nightmares. )

Also, because I'm a crack monkey

After razzing triadruid yesterday about immediately filling his downtime with new projects, I decided that since I'm not doing any public ritual until at least July, I could start working on the Winter Bazaar. Because I'm a crackmonkey.

I have this idea that if it becomes a project on a longer timeline, then perhaps in November it will not give me hives and make me want to stick something sharp up my left nostril.
