Mushroom of the day! I found this one after going up a side stream on the Ocoee River on my kayak. Eventually I ran out of stream so I got out to stretch my legs. This huge mushroom seemed to be waiting for me, almost a foot in height.

Today is 105 year anniversary of Ocoee Election Day Massacre. On 11/2/1920 a white mob murdered 30 Black people, & burned 25 Black owned homes & Black churches—all b/c Black people dared exercise the right to vote
Ocoee's entire Black community was exiled. No Black American moved back in until 1980

You clearly didn’t teach in FL Public Schools in the 90s because I was paying attention and they DEFINITELY skipped some important stuff (like the Ocoee Massacre)
