Country Living; "The Alien Badonkadonk Episode"
posted:
I find all kinds of things while hovering through my grassy kingdom on my orange throne. Things like: box turtles, baby deer, mice, bones, feathers, rare flowers, kids toys and burned out fireworks, you get the picture. At all times I'm prepared to stop, avoid or cut, leaving beneficial plants like milkweed standing for the next generation of monarch butterfly or stopping for big chunks of wood left by the spring flood. Around the house the grass is somewhat shorter, with the mower deck low, I keep a look out for strewn kids toys and stones peaking through the ground. I was just making my turns when I saw it first. My initial thought was, it's a deflated ball, as I got closer, a bread, a badonkadonk, an alien brain. At this point, I stopped and gave it the "Is It Dead Nudge" with my foot. Holy shitake, I found two giant mushrooms. I quickly secured my treasure and drove to the house. My online research confirmed my suspicion, I found a giant puffball (Calvatia gigantea) or the Tofu of the grass meadow.
