A Dino Sized Problem

Dinosaur hunters get excited when they find bones. That is to be expected. They get really excited when they find one to a species that they believe to be one that had not been discovered before. I can appreciate that. Because of this, the number of dinosaur species exploded. Three-horned little dinosaur – Triceratops. Really big three-horned dinosaur – Torosaurus. Some, though, believe they are really the same species. One is just the adult version of the other. Read more about this issue here.

I think mushrooms suffer the same fate. In a previous post I explore how the exact same mushroom is called different things depending on its age and size. Button mushrooms is one of those.

It does tell you the size that is desired, though.

Bacon and mushrooms? Yum.

It is even better than you think!
