Sustained rain over the past fortnight has caused an explosion of mushroom growth in the area. A half-hour walk on Thursday in the Taghkanic woods (sticking only to trails, and not specifically searching for anything) revealed at least 13 varieties of toadstools, some of them very poisonous.

Appearing to confirm its departure from the Town of Ghent, PCB-processor TCI of NY has withdrawn its application to following its catastrophic fire two summers ago.
The company also (per the memo below) has withdrawn a specious lawsuit against the Town’s Planning Board, claiming that the Board could not regulate a rebuild.
TCI is already embroiled in zoning controversies in its new location, across the river in Coeymans, whose residents may want to be on their guard—each of TCI’s past three facilities (Ghent, Greenport and Newburgh) exploded.
Found on Warren Street, presumably detritus from the renovation of the Warren Inn (formerly the Roylton, not to be confused with the one in Manhattan).
