A New Hobby: MUSHROOMS!

Following our introduction to Mushrooms at the Telluride Mushroom Festival, Gerry and I decided to do some mushroom hunting on our own back home.  We've had a fair amount of rain this season, by Los Angeles standards, so we were optimistic we would find some mushrooms.

We're fairly new at this, so it may take us some time to figure out the species we are seeing.  Gerry is more into the identification than I am - probably due to his background in biology and avid interest in science and nature.  However, I share his passion for nature and being in the great outdoors.

Here are some pictures.


 




Our good friend Kiki joined us.  Here she is with us in the Royce Canyon area of Griffith Park.



May 2013 be a year that you find whatever you are seeking!
