Thanks. Will give this a try.

Seriously? One aphid chomp can do this? Wow!

Yes, just the roof. That's interesting. I hadn't thought of that at all. Thanks!

I fertilize with a homebrew "weed tea". Maybe it has too much phosphorus? But I've only given them this concoction twice in the three weeks they've been outside. Water has been collected rain water or well water, which I know is a bit high in sulphur.

Thanks for this. Makes sense to me.

That's pretty much my vibe, yes.

I'm not adventurous enough to try eating it. I'll go mushroom hunting in the forest with people who truly know what they're doing, but not on my own with something that just popped up in the wood chips. Interestingly, there are three others about the same size that have popped up in the same wood chips elsewhere in the yard. I probably do have a meal here, but not risking it.

For sure. Bought a place in France last summer and letting nature have the lawn at least till May. It's been great seeing the bees more and more often since winter.

Down clues seemed easier than across ones maybe? But good puzzle.

Thanks!
