Gift from my son: Mushroom Identification

Yesterday, my son did some volunteer work at the local library. The volunteer work was arranged by his scout troop so going also gave him service hours credit for scouts. This volunteer work was setting up books for the upcoming book sale and as a thank-you the boys were allowed to pick out a book and received a cup of ice cream from the local homemade ice cream parlor next door to the library.

After he was done with setting up books he met me at another part of the library. As he approached I noticed a book in his hand. He has set up for previous book sales before but never came out with a book.  I was excited to see he found something that interested him.

"Cool, you found a book! What's it's about?"

"It's not for me. It's for you and it's about identifying mushrooms"

Well, my mother's heart just skipped a beat! My son actually thought of me and remembered how, I in passing, mentioned about wanting to learn to ID mushrooms; so when he saw the mushroom field guide he knew I should have it.

Teens still care about their parents :)
