Mushroom hunting

Saturday morning I went mushroom hunting up in the mountains with Shuka, Sara, Rebecca, and Julie. We spent a few hours looking, found plenty of exotic mushrooms, but none were suitable for eating.

Here, our resident expert Shuka, explains the basics of mushroom hunting to Rebecca (left) and Julie (right):

My two favorite exotic mushrooms were the Amanita:



and the Strawberries and Cream mushroom:



Shuka was surprised at how many mushrooms there were this late in the season, so we may go again next weekend.
