Yeah so today I woke up to my sister in law wielding a possum over me. Don’t ask how she got the possum, I don’t know. I also don’t know why she had the animal, but it’s been released exactly where she found it. Anyway, yeah. I Hope everyone else got awoken to an equally exciting wild animal being held over you. (No opossums were hurt in the capturing of these photos, it scurried back off home and seems fine)

In wood chip landscaping. Mild mushroom odor and flavor. Cap extremely viscid!

Spores measure

(6.9) 7.2 - 8 (9) × (3.8) 4.1 - 4.7 (4.8) x (3.6) 3.9 - 4.4 (4.5) µm
Q = (1.6) 1.64 - 1.87 (1.9) ; N = 30
Me = 7.7 × 4.4 µm ; Qe = 1.7

Growing in the cracks of the urban curb. While I usually want to remove non-native species from around me, I decided I liked this introduced Cinquefoil more than the average non-native plant growing in the cracks of our urban pavement, and that the likelihood of it sending its offspring to a natural area were relatively low.

When I made this post I was thinking of @gordonhogenson , a defender of "naturalized citizen plants".
