Not unexpected during monsoon season. Have those mud toads appeared yet?
First for me
Surprisingly no Sonoran Green Toads yet this season here. Lots of dogs in the neighborhood so I suspect that if any appear they are promptly disposed of by dog ownersAug 5, 2022 13:29:04 #

Are those the "magic mushrooms" out west that I hear about..? (I'm asking for a friend)
Tell your friend no. We stick to Peyote out here

here is a comment from a toxicologist at the UofA
"Oh the desert here is full of mushrooms during monsoon! Nearly all are routine barfogens, and those look pretty typical to me. We do occasionally have amanita sightings, but only at higher altitude—and the agave on the right is a lower-altitude plant.
If there is doubt/emergency need, the UA main campus has an arboretum/botany group that will assist with ID."

Thanks Jo, we call them "Sword Plants". They are quite able to inflect severe injuries

Not what I'd expect, but you presented the "evidence" beautifully. Thanks
