3379. Chinese New Year, 8 am, 12th day. Feb 27, 2018

Feb 27, 2018    9 am

Very few new mushrooms overnight seen in the garden and plantar box. Less than 20 per area.
Ragged mushrooms are new and appear to have dirt on the surface of the cap or are they new species?

 .

At 9 am, I saw one white mushroom not blooming yet. I hosed and tilled the soil, dislodging the white mushroom which is likely to grow into a brown and white flat one tomorrow.

The ragged mushroom caps fell when hosed. Will see if tomorrow brings in new mushrooms.

In some internet articles, mushrooms are fungi and are said to cleanse the soil.

3377. A 7-month-old hamster has an itchy right knee lump. What to do?

Image post op sent to owner as educational material and evidence of surgery.

lump has pus deep inside. I electro excised the lump, used forceps to
 drain out the dry pus. No suturing was needed. Went home 4 hours later.

.


Post-op images show no skin lump. Sent by WhatsApp to owner as evidence of elecgtro-excision. Hence a good camera is important. No stitching necessary. Close up image shows rough skin above the lump due to long-standing itchiness and licking by hamster for many days before lump removal.
