   The weather has been dry most of the summer.  Mushrooms have been as   
   scarce as I've ever seen.  We did get almost 2" rain from a thunderstorm   
   recently, which brought up the Ringless Honey Mushrooms (Armillaria   
   tabescens) in my backyard.  Still, they remain small due to dryness.  I   
   pick a couple cups worth of caps.  Their size was generally small   
   change; dimes, nickels and a few quarters.   
      
   I sauteed the whole caps in olive oil on moderately high heat, adding   
   dried seaweed and diced onion.  I added rice to the pan, and soy sauce   
   and maple syrup.   
      
   I ate the concoction hot, right out of the skillet.  The mushrooms were   
   delightfully chewy.  The meal was a delicious, slightly sweet, spicy,   
   pure vegetarian treat.   
      
   There are plenty more mushrooms to be had from the yard.  But, I need   
   more rice.  The maple syrup was a gift from someone who had been to Vermont.
