     waterbutts I cannot see any brown mushrooms , going to check the soil when it is cooler this evening . But for now,  this is some of its history.

    It is about 50 years old ( it was inherited )  and about 35 foot .

    The only thing  I can think of it  could  have been hit with  :  is a lawn mower  but even that I am not sure . We have been here for 15 yrs . and it looked okay then . But each year it has always  produced  nuts in 3 stages / forms .  we get the june drop ,which is normal . then around september they start falling . some  walnuts that have  not produced or formed properly . (1) It is a jelly like  stuff inside (2)  or a black dry skin over the nut itself . The nuts with the black skin is white nut inside and eatable . (3) Then we get the very enjoyable walnut  ,  crisp white nut  with a moist  thin pealable skin . And these are lovely .
