Colorado mushroom season is early this year, experts say

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:36:08 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- Mushroom hunting season came early in Colorado thanks to a good snow year and spring moisture. You might see mushrooms start to pop up in plain sight — in the park, walking the dog, on a hike or even in your garden. The mushroom season is typically short in Colorado, thriving from the end of June to the middle of August, according to mycologist and president of Colorado Mycological Society Jon Sommers. However, this year the experts are starting early. Jennifer Bell, president of the Pikes Peak Mycological Society, said she is already scouting for upcoming club forays. She’s looking for oyster mushrooms and morels.“When we get snow in the winter, that moisture doesn’t just appear and then go away, that builds a base for what’s to come in the summer,” she said. “It’s looking good now, so all you need is a couple days of heat.” Mushroom hunting is one more reason to get outside. Though mycology is the scientific study of fungi, Bell said it is fun for anyone...

Biden backs ‘whoever wins’ in Turkish election

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:36:08 GMT

When he ran for president, Joe Biden called Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdoğan an “autocrat” and said the U.S should support Erdogan’s opponents.Now, with Erdoğan leading in a tight runoff race for the Turkish presidency, Biden and his aides are a chastened bunch. When they’re willing to comment at all, they insist they’re not picking sides.“I just hope … whoever wins wins,” Biden said Sunday of the first-round vote in Turkey, a situation he subtly compared to his own 2020 election. “There’s enough problems in that part of the world right now.”The Biden team’s awkward ambivalence reflects an uncomfortable reality. Yes, Erdoğan may be an illiberal ruler who has damaged his country’s democracy. But Turkey is also a strategically located NATO ally, and Russia’s war in Ukraine and ongoing strife in the Middle East means Washington can’t simply turn its back on the strongman.Pressed on the topic during a briefing with journalists Monday, National Security Council spokespe...

Zelenskyy blitzes Europe with fighter jet diplomacy

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:36:08 GMT

LONDON — Ukraine has no permanent seat at the G7 leaders’ summit. But Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has already made sure his talking points will dominate discussions at the G7’s annual get-together in Japan this weekend.Zelenskyy arrived in the U.K. unexpectedly Monday morning after visiting Italy, Germany and France as part of a diplomatic blitz designed to ramp up military support for his country and — crucially — to build the case among Western allies for modern jet aircraft to be shipped to Kyiv.And with the G7 summit now just days away, Zelenskyy spoke optimistically of a new “coalition of jets” — countries committed to providing Ukraine with modern fighter aircraft — following talks with U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak at his country residence, Chequers.“We can’t control the sky,” the Ukrainian president told broadcasters. “We want to create this jets coalition, and I’m very positive with it. We spoke about it and I see that in the closest time, you will hear s...

Higher pollen levels impact spike in seasonal allergies

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:36:08 GMT

People with seasonal allergies have been hit hard this spring as the amount of pollen in the air increases.As many contend with sneezing, runny noses and other reactions, higher than normal amounts of tree pollen combined with recent weather are playing a role.“The spring season is classic for the tree pollens,” said Dr. Aleena Banerji, the clinical director of the Allergy and Clinical Immunology Unit at Massachusetts General Hospital. “And that is what we’re all feeling right now.”After a mild April and well-above average start to May, sunshine is encouraging people to get outside. The weather is also helping trees and flowers bloom. Budding blossoms, along with longer growing seasons, though, have caused higher levels of pollen. “Allergies have been horrible,” said Sarah LeBlanc, one person suffering from seasonal allergies. “My nose has been stuffed up. Both my kids are coughing. Everybody’s got a runny nose.”Over the past 20 years, pollen counts have risen by between 2...

Microsoft’s bid to buy game maker clears a key hurdle

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:36:08 GMT

LONDON — The European Union on Monday approved Microsoft’s $69 billion purchase of video game maker Activision Blizzard, deciding the deal won’t stifle competition for popular console titles like Call of Duty and accepting the U.S. tech company’s remedies to boost competition in cloud gaming.But the blockbuster deal is still in jeopardy because British regulators have rejected it and U.S. authorities are trying to thwart it.The acquisition, sweetened by Microsoft’s promises to automatically license Activision games to cloud gaming platforms, “would no longer raise competition concerns and would ultimately unlock significant benefits for competition and consumers,” said the European Commission, the 27-nation bloc’s executive arm and top antitrust watchdog.The commission’s approval “has removed one potential major roadblock for this deal” but “it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re in a stronger position”...

Ja Morant is playing with fire and the consequences are piling up

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:36:08 GMT

Ja Morant isn’t simply playing with fire. He’s showing how little he cares if he gets burned — or if the house goes up along with him.It’s clear now with the superstar guard’s second go-round being caught on camera with a gun in his hand that he didn’t learn his lesson the first time.The pistol-packing player for the Memphis Grizzlies pulled out a handgun while dancing in the driver’s seat of a car while a passenger was broadcasting on Instagram Live over the weekend.The seconds-long snippet immediately went viral on social media, and the Grizzlies announced shortly thereafter that the All-Star guard was suspended indefinitely from team activities. The suspension comes just weeks after Morant was penalized for this very same infraction.Recent reporting suggests now opposing NBA owners are concerned with the image Morant portrays as one of the young faces of the rapidly growing professional basketball league. His suspension is expected to car...
