Many times, while walking in our local forest, we find tree fungi. Some of them are already our old friends. We actually expect to meet them. And greet them too. 

Many of these are growing on old tree trunks which are dry and decaying. Some of these tree mushrooms are old too. Are they growing at all? 

I don't know since I am not an expert in the life of fungi. I merely admire them and take many opportunities to photograph them.

How many sentences more do I need to write before the timer runs out. Better said, before it runs to the right at full bar length. Will I be able to correct all the typos I've made? hopefully so.

Back to fungi. These tree mushrooms are not edible, of course. Yet, many of their cousins, the from-the-ground growing variety are.

Do you pick them? Do you eat them? Are you familiar with them and know which are edible and which aren't?

I am familiar with two or three of them. Meaning that I know for 1000% that they are edible and tasty too. It's not enough just to know they are edible. They should be good to eat too.

Time is running out. A few seconds more and I am done. Almost there ...

OK, the timer in the **Dangerous Writing Prompt App** has run-up, all the way to five minutes. Now I am able to go back and correct the typos. Ten of them.

Now, do the paragraphs above have any coherent meaning or is it just a babble? With timed free write you are not supposed to correct a lot, I suppose?

OK, I corrected two more typos and inserted two additional paragraph breaks. I also noticed that two paragraphs are not about fungi but about writing itself. A filler, one would say. Eh, let it be. For the first time.

This exercise is a part of the [Day 1069: 5 Minute Freewrite: Thursday - Prompt: fungus](https://ecency.com/hive-161155/@mariannewest/day-1069-5-minute-freewrite-thursday-prompt-fungus) by @mariannewest. It's my very first contribution.

The writing part was done with [The Most Dangerous Writing App](https://www.squibler.io/dangerous-writing-prompt-app)

The corrections were made with the help of Grammarly after the timer has run out.

This cover photo is from my personal collection of tree fungi.

This is also my first article published with the @ecency web app.
