It has been a busy week for us watching our granddaughters and taking care of things that needed to be taken care of. I wanted to post our last hike in the woods of the Boston Mountains up in the Ozarks. I have been curious about all the mushrooms we see when hiking so I bought a little cheat sheet of mushrooms... Now I will say I still have no idea which are edible and those that are not so I am not brave enough to pick them... I want to learn more about the different mushrooms but I will admit I am a scardy cat when deciding yes the are edible or NO they are poisonous! Here I will try to tell you what we saw and if I am wrong please let me know...
Ralph making his way through the trail & Spindle Coral Mushroom (edible)
Beautiful trees in the woods
Emetic Russula (poisonous) which I think looks like a plum tomatoe when closed &
more Spindle Coral. Isn't it really beautiful
A view of the lake & a King Bolete (Choice edible)
False Chanterelle (edible) & a beautiful air plant at the base of tree
Not sure what this is growing on the log & a cute little trail turtle
Caesar's Mushroom (edible) & a small creek with barely any water

Now don't take my word for it... I really am not sure and would not eat any of them...
Go outside and enjoy nature!
Until Later
