We took a ride the other day and went someplace we had never been before. We went north up Interstate 71 toward Cincinnati, Ohio but turned off and went through Florance, Kentucky then caught a secondary road through Union, Kentucky and came back to Carrollton, Kentucky that way. Along the way we saw a small pull off with a great view of the Ohio River. There was a flag pole there with a sign under it telling a huge wreak between two riverboats in 1868. As much history as I have studied on the United States and as many fiction books I have read that usually had some sort of refferenc to historic events this was one I had never heard off.

Toadstools Again
And a few more photos of toadstools or mushrooms or fungas which ever you want to call them. Most of them are now gone as we had to mow the grass as it was getting so tall we thought we might could make hay out of it. No, it wasn't really that tall, but taller than we like to walk through especially when it is wet. Notice the first photo looks like a golf ball but it is a toadstool.

More Toadstools
/The last two photos are of the same toadstool. It looked like a white rock when I first saw it. It had come up over night as all these fungas seem to do. A couple of days later it had turned dark. I couldn't find anything about this one anywhere. It was so different to all the others and a good bit bigger. I would guess that the turning dark was like a flower fading and turning dark. So far it is the only one like this I have seen.
What Is It?
So what is it? Is it a toodstool or a mushroom? Actually the two words are interchangeable. For real it is a fungus. But are they eatable or not? Who knows. Only the experts know. I don't So I considerable them uneatable. I'm not taking any chances. Especially as I really don't care to eat the eatable ones that much. But I am fasinated by them. They make great photo subjects. They don't move. Not even as much as a flower does in a slight breeze.
These look like flowers. According to my research. The mushroom is the flower part of this plant.
