I'll Gladly Pay You Tuesday for a Hamburger Today

It's been a pretty dry summer here in the midwest, but I was still able to find a few fungi in the northwoods of Minnesota along the hiking trails.



I liked the stacked brown ones because they reminded me of hamburger buns.  All I could think of was the guy from the Popeye cartoon saying "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today." Isn't it funny how something like that swims up out of the depths of memory? It's probably been 30 years since I've seen a Popeye cartoon! I can't remember what my kids' first words were, but the words of cartoon characters are apparently important enough to remember forever.

But the one below was definitely my favorite, a real piece of art by Mother Nature.

    Great fungi; the layered mushrooms do look like a stack of 'sliders' on a platter :-))
