Naturally Speaking

Wild mushroom seasons are changing, as are plant flowering dates and corn planting times. Climate change? Probably.
The fly agaric mushroom, a species of Amanita, is now appearing in select locations; this is a bit early.  It is a poisonous and hallucinogenic; even kills flies (hence the name) when they are offered bits of the mushroom cap in a saucer of milk.  They get inebriated and crash into the walls and windows.
Who knows; maybe this is a happy death in the fly world.
