   Last year I was lucky not to need a blood transfusion from mosquitos and not   
   to get lyme disease from deer ticks (I had two burrow in)   
   Also lots of crow family birds were dead from west nile.   
   This year has been a dream year here for lack of pests.   
      
   I think it was a 'honey' in the earlier photo after seeing a bunch of them   
   at different stages yesterday.   
      
   Do you eat the entoloma abortivum, and if so is it the gilled one or the   
   puffy one?
