We found a moist hillside with a spring trickling through.
Auntie Hannah sat dutifully with the book in hand,
while some of us sat and watched,
and the cousins scoured the forest floor.
Once my crew got into it, they were impressive in their scouting abilities!
I bet they discovered several dozen different mushrooms.
How many of those were identified with certainty is, well...
less certain.
I think he was smart in his mushroom-handling. That's probably how I would have held it.
IF I had been picking up fungus, that is.
These were my own personal favorite varieties ;-)
It was a fun outing. Thanks Uncle Char!

I love that last picture. I love muck boots on children. Just the plain black with dull red soles. It just says "mud." Impressive shrooms as well. bleh Sorry mushrooms give me the heebee jeebees. And I'm a farm girl!
Haha! Yes.. That's why AJ missed out. He can't figure out why anyone would WANT to eat fungus! I can't say I was eager to cook any of it. In fact, as much as any little boy cajoled, I put my foot down. WHY would I cook mushrooms that taste like licorice? A mushroom is it's own problem, but licorice is a serious waste of good taste buds. ;-)
I like mushrooms! Looks like a fun expedition. My grandparents hunt mushrooms and are very knowledgeable about them.
Mmmmmm. Mushrooms!!!!
I'll take 'em off your hands :o)
The Morels this Spring were Ah Soo-PERB! ;-) I'll cook them and eat them too.
Looks like lots of fun :)
