There's a slight squirmy chill in the air today. I can't seem to sit still. I've got a hundred and one reasons why I shouldn't go outside, however I know I need to finish some projects. Dad's observatory needs more paint on the other side. The ginseng is still at the other plot of land. I need to make beds for it here, plant it into the ground, and cover it with mulch. This all means I get to drive a tractor possibly soon.
Yesterday I wasted a ton of time searching for mushrooms out back by the cemetery. I found puffballs, and a whole bunch of others that are to me indistinguishable from anything. They're all in canvas and paper bags in another room, but I'll go through them one of these days soon, before they rot.
I walked through the cemetery for the first time yesterday. I found 4 license plate type grave markers. Two of which said Baby Hardy, and gave no birth date. The other two gave names, and the ages were too young. They died when they were children in around 1905. It amazes me that these aluminum plate type markers would last so long. I didn't look through the stones very long, and my curiosity is more and more wondering about the light I see all night long across the barbed wire and into the graveyard. A solar powered light shines all night so that the loved ones can come see their family's memorial, and know where it is. Well, my fingers are warming up now. It's about time to start cranking out some articles.

Mushroom Health Benefits
In studying the mushroom benefits, I was surprised at all the healthy aspects of mushrooms that blew other vegetables out of the water. If you ask anyone why they eat mushrooms, most will say they like the taste or the texture, but not many will tell you about the highest level of nutrients found in mushrooms than any other vegetable. Not many people know. There’s all the hype about eating berries, apples, oranges, carrots, broccoli, and we know all the reasons why. When adding mushrooms to salads, people don’t much realize that they are adding the most important vegetable to their plate.
Here are 7 helpful facts about mushrooms:
1) Mushrooms have low energy concentration. Less calories helps to keep your weight in balance. Eating more mushrooms could contribute to weight loss.
2) Mushrooms have a high raw fiber content. High raw fiber consumption results in the lack of hunger pangs which in turn prevents overeating.
3) Mushrooms have low sodium concentration. Anyone with hypertension can eat them without restrictions.
4) Mushrooms do not have starch. Rather, they contain mannitol which is half as sweet as cane sugar, and can be consumed by diabetics.
5) Mushrooms are low in purine. Beneficial to people suffering from gout and rheumatism
6) Mushrooms are highly concentrated in essential vitamins. Up to three times more than other traditional vegetables.
7) Mushrooms have high concentrations of essential minerals and trace elements like selenium and potassium.
Some statistics about mushrooms in 100g of white mushrooms, the following was found.
Calories: 40 - Average of most vegetables
Sodium: 9mg - Significantly less than other vegetables
Potassium: 450mg – Significantly much more than other vegetables
Vitamin B-1: 0.10mg - Significantly much more than other vegetables
Vitamin B-2: 0.47mg - Four to Five times more than most other vegetables
Vitamin B-5: 2.25mg - Four to Five times more than most other vegetables
Vitamin B-9: 0.027mg - Four to Five times more than most other vegetables
Vitamin D: 1.88 micro g - One of the only vegetables with this vitamin
Selenium: 28 micro g - Twenty Eight times more than most vegetables
As you can see, there are many amazing benefits to making mushrooms a part of your daily regimen of fiber and nutrients. I can’t wait to get my hands on some fungi to cook lightly and devour!
