| I was out and about this evening at sunset on my inline roller-skates around
Vancouver's Stanley Park seawall, when, lo and behold, looking upward, I
caught a rare glimpse of some naturally-occuring rebar!

This is a good example of where rebar is often found in its natural habitat;
on the surfaces of large rocks that are cracked and/or potentially mobile,
and over places where humans pass or congregate.
Nowadays of course, rebar is produced in vast industrial complexes, and
applied in a multitude of useful ways.
Here's a blurry picture from the location of the rebar looking in the
opposite direction:

| Dang, I wonder if you can root that stuff to come up elsewhere.
With the way the price has gone up over the last couple of years, I could
root it and replace my other "cash" crop.

Well, I passed by a small garden of lovely cultivated orange rebar mushrooms
just today, so it is possible.
I'll take a picture tomorrow and post it!
