At evening it is not;
At morning in a truffled hut
It stops upon a spot
~except of poem by Emily Dickenson
1a : an enlarged complex aboveground fleshy fruiting body of a fungus (as a basidiomycete) that consists typically of a stem bearing a pileus; especially : one that is edible
Definition of PILEUS
1[Latin] : a pointed or close-fitting cap worn by ancient Romans
2: the convex, concave, or flattened spore-bearing structure of some basidiomycetes that is attached superiorly to the stem and typically is expanded with gills or pores on the underside —called also cap.
I prefer to think of mushrooms in a more romantic sense, such as the phenomenom the Fairy Ring. I noticed my mushrooms hadn't completed the ring, more like a Fairy Arc.
