Muppet Mushroom

Columns, Leaf, Root Fungi, Fruit / By Kelly Chadwick

The Muppet mushroom is my name for Albatrellus ellisii, officially called greening goat’s foot. A title that would drive off all but the most daring from eating it.

Get Out There, Road Trips, Travel / By Taylor Rogers

2,000 cubic feet of water rushed and roiled past Drae Howell every second as he stood, poised with surfboard in hand, ready to jump into the fast current of the Clark Fork River. He leaps as he throws down his surfboard, planing across the wave in a graceful arc over the chaos of the wave.
