If I got the last place with these mushrooms with a grand pedigree it means that people might want to try some to reap their benefits

In answer to Barry:

The answer is....
....from the mushroom royalty: LION'S MANE Hericium erinaceus or, depending on foklore - yamabushitake (= ‘mountain priest mushroom’), bearded tooth fungus, bearded hedgehog, or old man's beard

Sliced and quickly fried in a film of oil with salt and a touch of garlic and ta-ta! Your brain sparkles and become sharp not to mention other multiple benefits known and unknown yet to humans
The other ones are the chestnut mushrooms, delicious also, cooked the same and with a bit of lemon on top

Was only 8 from me since it brought to mind a 7.6earthquake that I experienced with open eyes. The lemons did not budge - in my recollection also.

Very interesting shot but definitely not a chiaroscuro

harmony in contrast

This is a violent battle between chiaro and oscuro. Chiaroscuro to me is more harmonious. Nevertheless I like this shot and to me it looks like NY more than Austin. Am I right?
