Here are some nice mushrooms
A family of glowing orange enoki mushrooms have such sticky caps that they look like over-full water glasses in danger of spilling over. They grow together in the punky decay of a moss speckled log under a bright winter sky

Mikki Willis: "CONGRATS TO THE DREAM TEAM! 

I’ve been working with RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard for over a decade, collaborating on media productions—from crafting scripts to filming on set to reviewing notes during post-production. The process requires everyone involved to get to know each other intimately.

They don’t alter who they are to fit anyone’s expectations, nor are they swayed by money or power."

*laughs* I’m in danger…
