Evan and I went up to Paris Mt. yesterday afternoon to do some mushroom hunting. We found a lot of success, probably gathering at least fifty mushrooms all together (albeit not fifty different species, but still pretty good). All and all I would say this was a very successful mushroom hunt. I brought my camera along to take some pictures of the mushrooms where they were growing. The pictures aren’t the best quality (my camera is about six years old and doesn’t have the best pixel count) but they are good enough for looking at.
After collecting and bringing back to Evan’s place we worked on ID-ing our finds. Several were too generic, light colored, and gilled mushrooms, making them near impossibly to identify. We did find a good number of boletes though and are pretty confident about the types they represent.
Here are some pictures.
Probably the coolest mushroom we found, a type of bolete with a sticky red cap and hairy stem
The Destroyer Angel a very lovely and also very deadly mushroom
Not a mushroom but a Green Carolina Anole, I saw about six or seven of these lizards throughout the mushrom hunt
Another beautiful but poisonous mushroom
