Backpacking 30 miles through Olympic NP...Yeah, I took a few mushroom pics lol🍄🍄 Amanita Muscaria/"Fly Agaric"/ #Mario mushroom #smurf house Call it what you want since it's the most recognizable mushroom in the world. So cool to see a few areas hosting these beauties. #fungifriends #mycology

We additionally did a some "dilly beans" this year. Better than blanching and freezing them all!

Some Old Men of The Woods and a little Ringless Honey cluster. Honestly, the Old Man weren't my favorite to eat - too mushy, but they are very cool looking. #fungifriday #fungifriends

Not just any mushroom gets its own photoshoot. Probably some of the prettiest mushrooms I have EVER seen. ID as Amanita Jacksonii, from the g-lens search. #fungifriends #amanita

Cutting board love. Winecap, Mini-golden oyster clusters, garlic, and onion (tops) ready for dinner. The best tasting meals are homegrown and foraged. #fungifriends

This was the only one, after a couple hours hiking. A half free morel is a nice sight. This was under an Elm tree. #fungifriends #morel

A half free morel mushroom blends in well with the valley leaf litter.

A large heart-shaped mushroom. Check comments for scale. #fungifriends #heart

In the night, a large heart-shaped mushroom clings to a tree. In the comments is shown a picture of a hand next to it for comparison.

Was there on Saturday night to see G Love and Special Sauce at the Kent Stage. Ate at my friend's brewery before - Belltower Brewing, and saw the co-op is still kickin'.

Always had dreams of becoming a townie of Kent, after living there for a couple years in the 90's. I still visit often as possible!

I put some garden tomatoes in the dehydrator to preserve them. These Purple Bumblebee slices look like stained glass! #garden #tomato
