I think it's both a Fig and a Mushroom ;)  I have some old photos of a Desert King that got moldy and hairy that look like Rip Van Winkle's beard after his nap!

all for a good laugh,   kiwibob

 I got thousands in that state. Too cool mixed with rain. kiwibob -- get a granthams royal. It is a gem. Michael sampled them and 
they are excellent + productive. Better than DK

Paully & Grasa,

I already have Grantham's Royal in my collection and can give Grasa a rooted tree.

I am attaching a PDF of my current Fig Collection.  CUT = got as a cutting, ROOTS = got as a rooted cutting, GAL = in gallon container, SM POT = pot up to 5 gallon size, M POT = pot up to 15 gallon size, LG POT = pot over 15 gallon size, EARTH = planted in the ground.  The first date listed (from left) indicates the way I obtained the variety, and dates to the right indicate when I potted/planted the variety and container size.

If anyone outside of Seattle is interested in any of these varieties, PLEASE DON'T ASK ME FOR THEM AS MY NURSERY IS CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE DUE TO AYLS (ACTINIDIA YELLOW LEAF SPOT) AND I WILL ONLY MAKE PLANT MATERIAL AVAILABLE TO PERSONAL FRIENDS LIVING WITHIN THE CITY OF SEATTLE WHERE AYLS IS PRESENT IN EVERY LOCATION!!!

Keep on Growing,   kiwibob, Seattle
