Add LIV Golf and the Republican Party to the list that includes Trump Steaks, Trump University, the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, the US Football League, and his Atlantic City casinos. Everything that Trump touches he soils. This record is unmatched.

The result was hundreds of potato varieties, each with its own tolerance for frost, drought, pests, and poor soils. Some highland communities still plant hundreds of varieties in a single field. If one fails, the rest don't.

White Saddle Mushroom (Helvella crispa) is a striking and unusual fungus known for its distinctive saddle-shaped cap. This species is often found in woodlands particularly in areas with rich, well-drained soils. #fungi #fungifriends
