Love all of your photos of the varied fungi along the trail. The one that looks like a piece of white coral is especially lovely—I wonder if any of them are edible? Expanding my repertoire of wild edible mushrooms is on my list of things to do.

I never saw so many mushrooms in my life. Do you know the poisonous ones from the good ones? Not that I'd pick any--they are beautiful right where they are. These are the kinds of walks I miss so I'll be walking beside you when you go. I'm trying to decide which direction to take, today. Housework to do. Funny how a little trailer can get so messy with just a few things out of place and I have to fix a cabinet this afternoon.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00746240759756348297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-12598736913547655452016-10-07T11:22:10.800-04:002016-10-07T11:22:10.800-04:00Beautiful day and hike.
