It's Day 6 for Treebrain(s) 2006 and there are now signs of drying and fungal old age.

I did see the Boing Boing link about these mushrooms this morning. I'm getting a lot of emails because of it -- so here's the link from back in 2003 where we had established the type of mushroom the Treebrain is thanks to this awesome letter from Mycologist Mike Boom. (I'm still not going to eat it, though.)

Here's the larger one. You can see a close-up of it here. But this close-up is still my favorite.

I think we've safely passed the window for the thief to return. Maybe their eating experience last year didn't go well.
