Mushroom Hunt

AJ really missed out on this one, but I took the kiddos and joined Uncle Char and Auntie Hannah for a short hike and mushroom identifying expedition.














 



















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!
