Odd 1988 Penny

1988 pennies aren’t supposed to have serifs on Frank Gasparro’s initials, but this one doesn’t look like the serifed version that’s known to be an error.

Rowan Williams Brian Dumbledore

You have to admit: The Archbishop of Canterbury (Rowan Williams) does look a heck of a lot like the Headmaster of Hogwarts (Albus Dumbledore). :-)

Lots to Update

I have a *lot* of mushroom pictures to add to my journal here.

Hopefully I’ll find some time to slog through them all, as I have a number of species that I have never come across before.

I’ve come to know these as Panther Caps, but apparently “true” American Panther Caps only happen in California. The only type that should be around here is Amanita velatipes, but they never seem to be “stocky” enough in comparative photos. However today I believe I have pegged them as A. ceciliae. This would explain why a number of them did not seem to have prominent rings (or in some cases rings at all).
