Ooof I started grumpy posting way too early today. Let me start over and try again. Good morning.

A really nice sunrise above a flat horizon, with a nicely silhouetted spruce tree on one side. The sky is orange close to the horizon, fading to light blue above. There are bright pink clouds scattered pleasingly around the sky.

I cannot emphasize enough that if youre trying to save some money or make meals go further, making fresh soup is a nice way to spend an afternoon. It makes your house smell good. Its cheap. It gets better after a day or two. Its healthy. And it makes your family's bellies warm and full.

In a lush green forest floor the cut end of a moss covered log is seen. Growing out of this log are a number of reddish bracket fungi these fungi are darker near their edges, and a white underside can be seen on some of them.

This picture shows the same cut log end, but from an angle near the ground. The underside of the bracket fungi is seen, and they are mostly white with a hint of cream color. The reddish brown tops can be seen over the edges of some fungi.

A dead tree stands perhaps 12 feet tall, covered in moss and bright orange mushrooms.

A closer look at the top of the tree, showcasing perhaps fifty mushrooms.

The side of the same tree, where about twenty mushrooms can be seen growing from the shaggy mossy bark.

An upward angle from the base of the tree, looking up at all the neat little layered caps.
