I ran across this M&M Mars candy advertisement Sunday at a Pikesville retailer, and I got this everything bagel with nova lox at a Pikesville eatery. Can you guess where I found them?
It's the week of Halloween and Frankenstorm. Appropriately, this guy was promoting M&Ms, Milky Way and other candy by Mars.

Can you guess which restaurant has this salad on its menu?
It has a large slice of avocado, pico de gallo, tortilla chip strips and more. Do you know where I got it? Take a guess in the comments section, below this article. Facebook Fan Jon B.

As a nature nut, I know generally what this is. Do you? And can you tell me where I would find it?
UPDATE (9:47 a.m. May 3)—Somewhere in Pikesville last month I came across this tree. Do you know what's on the tree, and where I found it? There are some inherent clues for folks who know Pikesville. but I will give you another clue: It was in a place accessible to the public. Here's the answer: This is a shelf fungus, ganoderma applanatum, and I found it at Druid Ridge Cemetery in Pikesville. It's also known as a bracket fungus. Some call it artist's conch, because artwork can be carved or drawn onto the opposite side. That would be the white underside in this fungus. It often grows on decaying, dead trees. But in this case, it's a parasite, because it's growing on a wound of a living tree. The clue I thought readers could get from the …
