June 15: Spores

When I watered one of my pots of flowers, an alarming puff of brown smoke rose out of the pot. Of course it wasn't smoke, it was fungus or mold spores, and, being a lifetime student of the science fiction genre, I jumped back to stay clear of the spores. (They can turn you into a fungus-human hybrid, don't you know, incubate in your body, or at the very least, have mind-altering properties!) Once the air cleared a little, I leaned toward the pot to inspect the soil; it was covered with small orangey-brown growths. Strange and a little unsettling. I suppose now that I've released the spores, I might get this stuff in my other plants if conditions are right.
