Mushrooms Get Me Going
For some the title of today’s post might raise eyebrows. So, before I go any further, allow me to explain what the headline meant.
No, I do not abuse mushrooms for any sort of psychedelic effect. I will enjoy a meal of golden oyster or morel mushrooms and I like mushrooms on pizza, but that is as far as any internal mushroom use goes. For that matter I don’t even know how to use mushrooms for any mind-altering affect (I am boring!). That said, I do enjoy hunting for, observing, and photographing mushrooms. That is what I did for a few minutes today - I photographed mushrooms.
Today’s mushroom-finding outing was very brief due to the weather. Even my distance hiked was short. But, I did not need to look far. Within a very small area I found four species of fungi I will share here.
