Mushroom Eruption

August 31, 2014

Sublette County's arid rangeland has responded to the recent abundance of moisture with an eruption of mushrooms. From small and tasty meadow mushrooms to plate-sized versions growing in natural gas fields, mushrooms are sprouting! Readers are cautioned to be sure to identify which mushrooms are safe to eat, and if there is a question, don't eat it!
