Sandy and I went on a tree gathering expedition. You can see way out in the field there are some woods. We had to walk on a fallen tree that wobbled precariously twenty feet over a raging river to get to the woods. OK, maybe it was only four feet over a one foot deep swale…but it was still adventurous.

We did bring back some trees…but we spent the better part of two hours foraging for mushrooms! I have never been on a mushroom hunt. I love “finding” things. In the second picture off in the distance you can make out “Mayapples”. It is thought that you often find mushrooms near Mayapples. Perhaps it is because they both come out at the same time.

The third picture shows my first mushroom! We found about twenty of these fine tasting “Morels”. Not that I ate them :)
