shroom

every year beginning in mid april through mid may spring begins,"at least around here," and with the start of spring comes the mushrooms, growing small at first, then more towards the beginning of may the larger muriel mushrooms white mainly. i'm not very good at finding them, but i really enjoy eating them. this year i happened to be out hunting one day walking through briars and stepping over logs and looking in tall grass around the elm trees, for some odd reason they seem to grow near elm trees, but i tripped over what i thought was just another log on the forest floor but it was a mushroom the biggest mushroom i had ever seen or heard about. the mushroom must have been at least ten feet tall, it was enormous, it must have been two to two and a half foot across at the base, i had no idea how i would ever get it home to show my wife, i also had no idea how i would ever pick it. i decided to go back to the house since it was less than a mile away and get my chainsaw since the chain was still sharp from the last time i needed to cut wood, my wife and i are required to supplement our heat(forced air furnace), with the use of an add-on wood furnace. i also hooked up a hay wagon to carry the mushroom back to the house,"i was only hopeing i would be strong enough to lift the massive mushroom onto the bed of the wagon?" when i returned to the woods i parked the tractor with the wagon on behind of it what i thought was in the exact same spot i had been in earlier when i had found the mega-shroom so i walked into the woods looking for more mushrooms as i walked, i did find several regular size mushrooms but when i returned to the spot it seememed to have disappeared so i walked around more seaching and searching,"this was getting a little ridiculus," i was getting frantic, searching everywhere with chainsaw in hand and it was beginning to get dark. i searched a while longer, ate another of the mushrooms i had found earlier and went on home, i'm sure there's a moral to this yarn but i have no idea what it might be.
