Mushrooms

So, we have these HUGE mushrooms growing at the base of our oak trees.  Yesterday, Lisa (our church's resident mushroom expert) stopped by to take a look and identify them.  Boy, was she excited!  Turns out, they are Maitakes.  One of her favorites.  So, we picked a bunch, she took some home; and Will made mushroom soup with the rest.  It was yummy!

Here are a couple of photos of the mushrooms, including Vivian for a size comparison - that cluster alone weighed over 3 lbs!
