The Pacific Northwest took a glancing blow this weekend from the remains of a Typhoon. You may have seen it on the news; but I must say, we got pounded. At June Lake, near Mount St. Helens, they got 15 inches between Friday at 10am and Monday, 8am. The Portland area only saw a paltry 3.45 inches. I thought it would be more, but that was plenty. It was too wet even to take the dogs out.
Today, however, the clouds and rain are clearing, and the sun has come out; revealing a collection of alien fungus, which seem to have sprouted and grown to astonishing sizes and plentitudes overnight. I don’t know if they’re poisonous or not, but they certainly are impressive. I bet the slugs are happy…
