Big and Thick

It is hard to tell how big this is, but it is about the size of my fist and easily a 1/2 inch thick.

My wife and I were walking by this spot last week and to my surprise we found some oyster mushrooms. They are about a day past prime, but still wonderful. I want to say it has been about 2 or 2.5 years since I poured some spored oil on this stump and the trunk laying on the ground next to it about two weeks after it was cut down. The tree is still holding on to life.
