Yes. Very common in California markets.

Sort of like a cross between French bread and Sourdough.

Now what about my big, brown mold of swirls ?



Sort of like cauliflower and brain fungus from the pictures I have seen.

It's not a cauliflower mushroom, is it?

But a brown, dark brown, brown with a tad of red color and white on the edges of the swirls. And the swirls are more regular, better defined, 1.5" - 2"

I mean it is big to have appeared so fast unnoticed.

It was growing in my garden box I use for white onions and filled with what they call top soil but is only composted stuff.

Best

Reality is not what it appears to be.

Global Warming is due to urban / suburban sprawl.

The structural materials used absorb and store heat more then "nature".

Although it might seem wise in the Winter to reduce heating costs, it does change the climate.

Rain patterns have already been disturbed as they dissipate approaching a warmer aired city.

Undoubtedly, man made global warming.

What are we going to to about it?

Any "materials scientists" on board who might address materials that absorb and store less heat.

Epiphany Prone

Your on it moi and I got the fix, bulldoze all of southern California except the missions, everything must go the roads, houses, businesses, everything including the Hollywood sign and the golf course. All of it goes, then scientist can go in on a 5 year study and see if it reduced the global warming.

Who agrees with me?

I've just had a great epiphany tonight...

Moi's understanding of HEAT is scary.

Aluminum siding and corrugated steel.

Sounds like a potential case of HISTOPLASMOSIS... don't breathe it!
