Probably not where my mom and her neighbors are. Some of them would
shoot at strangers traipsing around uninvited on their land.
Fortunately, most people around there have the good sense to go to the
door and ask permission before trespassing.

She walks her property along the creek quite often with her dogs and the
mushrooms just aren't there like they were. She really does think it's
because there aren't cattle grazing there anymore and I'm inclined to
agree.

I especially liked the second story! I'm wondering if we have some
mushrooms close by because off all the wildfires we had here last year.
Hmmmmm.
