Drew Mowery, 2, sits among a display of large mushrooms in the 200 block of West North Avenue last week (they have since been mowed down).
He's the son of Eric and Jessica Mowery. Wanting to know more about the mushrooms, the Ada Icon turned to Curtis Young, Ph.D., who lives not far away.
He has seen the mushrooms pop up in the yard for many years and could readily identify the variety and tell us something about it. In fact, they also grow in his yard.

The Ada VFW Post 9381 third annual car show Saturday brought out many people displaying their vehicles, those who wanted to see the old and exotic cars, as well as one special dog, Rollo.
Shown here are Chris Hamacre, senior vice commander of the post, with 7-year-old Great Dane Rollo, a post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) service dog who is at the post often and makes himself quite at home there.
They and Wynn Hauenstein, post quartermaster, stand beside Wynn's car. Wynn served as chairman of the car show.
