After more rain

The fall rains bring us lots of interesting fungi.  One of my favorite species is the king bolete.  This week has been bountiful.  One day, I came home with 10 pounds of them.  Two days later, I came home with a pair.  Today, I came home with a lovely one after a bicycle ride.

I've been lucky enough to find these lovely mushrooms when the sun is shining.  All good!

Lots of salamanders were out crawling around in the woods with me and the mushrooms.

This one weighed between 2 and 3 pounds.  It was huge.
