That is a great shot Pat! I wish we had more terrestrial snails in CT but we dont. Now slugs we have no shortage off, much to my gardens distress!

Thank Al, there is a cute story behind this pic. I was returning to my car after a meeting with my local camera club. I was one of the first ones out and I saw the snail. I got on my hands and knees and was taking it's pic with the phone on the ground and soon I had all the help I could stand. Folks trying to give me a white background, extra light with their phones and some asking me what the heck I was doing (they thought I was praying) lol. The snail was not it's happy little self with all the commotion and retracted into it's shell a bit.

Yep! Thats my way to deal with them too Harry. Pour some in a shallow bowl and they can't resist it...Crawl in and never come out. I hear they leave this world happy though!

I answered a craiglist ad for a tropical plant (dieffenbachia) that some one was giving away. They were having a tough time keeping it alive . It gets pretty big and this plants pot was huge.She had just repotted it with a good potting mix. I took it home and had it on my deck a few days. Noticed some mushrooms starting yesterday.Today they openned..

Leucocoprinus birnbaumii, aka Lepiota lutea, the yellow houseplant mushroom.

It literally is a common mushroom of house plants.. But I have never seen one.

Guess I got a 2 for 1.

Too cool. When I first looked at the pic I wondered what kind of bird laid those eggs.

A Ma-shroom bird that mated with a fun-guy 😜
