Judas Ear Mushroom


2025-05-05 - Adair Co., KY - Photo by Marie Freeman.
Marie writes, "This Jellyfish or Judas Ear mushroom is on the opposite side of the hairy oysters on the same stump. I've always heard it called Judas Ear, which is more common for the United States and the folklore behind. It is fascinating." She also sends this linked info:
Wood ears are also known as Judas's ear or Jew's ear - this is a reference to Judas Iscariot. The folklore around the mushrooms say that the fungi are Judas' returned spirit, a reminder of his suicide by hanging (strangulation) on an elder tree. And that the fungi being medicinal for sore throats is not a coincidence.

In Korean, the wood ear name translates to "wood jellyfish" or "tree jellyfish."

Scenic Adair County - view of Clifty Creek Farm


2025-05-04 - Adair County, KY - Photo by Donna Rieder.
This is an early spring view of life on Clifty Creek Farm. Bexer the horse is one of her rescues. His friend is a stray-cat-turned-keeper named BlackCat. BlackCat follows Donna everywhere she goes on the farm, just like a dog; he even likes to ride on the side-by-side with her. You can see a video of him riding along, on their Clifty Creek Farm Facebook page.

Kentucky Derby Memories


2025-05-03 - Louisville, KY - Photo by Doug Beard.
Doug writes, "A few celebrity photos from the Kentucky Derby when I was covering the event for Brown-Forman (Woodford Reserve). I actually knew who most of them were in those days. Now it seems that the majority of them are reality TV actors and Hip-hop artists that I don't recognize. Getting older I guess. Happy Derby Week!"

Celebrities pictured include: Pamela Anderson, Kid Rock, Loni Anderson, Melissa Joan Hart, Latoya Jackson, George W. Bush, Prince Albert Of Monaco, Josh Groban, Dennis Cole, and Bo Derek.
