We have a dozen or so of these very large mushrooms growing on our property.

I don't know mushrooms well enough to try these..... You don't get a second chance if you are wrong.

I believe Italian plumbers use those to make themselves giant sized.

While on a slug hunt I came across this beautiful Wolf Spider. I love these things.
I wish I had a backyard full of them, as long as they don't bother my radixes.

Bare handed, even! If it's larger than my thumbnail, I generally leave it be, or if it's in the house, there is a glass and an envelope involved I remember being bit by these as a kid, who was most likely bothering it beyond it's tolerance, but the body remembers! They are lovely, though!
