Brain Garden

Here's a photograph of an almost fully mature brain in our garden. We've had a good crop of brains this year - certainly more brains than I have a use for. It's actually some kind of fungus, but in the right light and from the right angle they look disturbingly like brains, so much so that I find myself reluctant to touch them.

Note the shredded remains of the honeydew melon plant, nibbled to death by kamikaze squirrels. How come they always want to eat the plants I care about (the honeydew melon) and won't touch the icky things like the brain fungi? Because the world isn't fair.
