Fungus Among Us


The National Weather Service confirmed that Saturday was the 28th consecutive day of wet weather. There has been an average of 0.17 inches of precipitation every day. Anchorage tied the 1951 record of 27 straight days of precipitation Friday, but Saturday's rainfall beat that previous record and it's on again, off again rain today. Fortunately, most days start out partly sunny then turn cloudy and rainy by late afternoon. With all of the damp, soggy weather and cool gray skies, there is going to be some fun fungus among us! I had never heard of a "Fairy Ring" before but on a bike ride downtown this afternoon I saw these mushrooms forming several "rings" in front of this condo building and thought of a recent Blog post Linda wrote. Linda this Alaskan Fairy Ring is for you!
