September sightings of note

Published by Drew Monkman on

On September 27, while walking on the 3rd hole of the Kawartha Golf and Country Club, I spotted two Giant Puffballs in the little strip of woods just west of the green. They were at least 10 inches in diameter, in perfect stage of ripeness. I was tempted to gather one, but resisted. Robert Stairs, Peterborough
