A Dumb Mistake

I made a mistake!

This is why I don’t forage for gilled mushrooms, with very few exceptions.

If I can mix up nitrogen-fixers (which won’t kill me), I can mix up mushroom species (which can kill me).

The trees look similar, grow in similar fashion, and are located in similar places.

The problem is: one will root and grow into a beautiful living fence, the other will eventually rot.

I’m not sure of the species which I confused for Gliricidia sepium. It looks almost like a cassia and blooms late in the year with yellow, butterfly-like blooms.

Ah well. Live and learn. I won’t mix them up again.
