While I Slept


My friend Jason went out of town and returned to find surprise lilies in his yard.

I went to bed and when I woke up, I had mushrooms growing on the roots of one of the trees in the backyard. By the time I saw them, several had already melted into a smelly, rotting mess. On Saturday, I scraped up the intact organisms (?) so I could mow the area. Now my back room, where I dump my yard shoes when I come inside, smells like mushrooms. Or maybe it's just my imagination.


(I also have surprise lilies in my yard. I prefer them over mushrooms.)

Yuck was my reaction. I'm not even fond of edible mushrooms.
