| A friend and I went on our first mushroom walk last week. The week before the woods were dry and fungiless . |
 |
| If I can see one amanita muscaria in a season, I am satisfied. |
 |
| These little ones grow in spirals around stumps. |
 |
| Three in one day. I love this place. |
 |
| Another kind of amanita. |
 |
| These are a kind of Chanterelle. I ate them, but have come to accept that I would rather talk to mushrooms than taste them. |
 |
| These are the same type of chanterelle gris (gray), growing in a little colony inside a stump. |
 |
| The bolete is in the middle distance, shouting at us to admire it. |
 |
| Do you believe in fairies? |
 |
| As we walked out of the forest we saw three or four huge trees lining the road. I could tell they weren’t natives, but planted by the Stewarts 100 years ago to line their horse riding path. Later I identified them as Monterey Cypress. No wonder they looked familiar. |
