Thanks, Kemberly for your reply.
I think its neat to see them sprouting all over. I have touched them and
smelled them. They do smell like the mushrooms we eat, but I WOULDN'T DARE
EAT THEM. And I'm careful to wash my hands after. I don't use anything
chemical, just basic compost that we can get free from the city's recycling
center and everything is coming up beautiful. I suspected it was a good
thing. You must be sweltering down there in Texas.
