Mushroom Hunting at Lord Hill Park

Back on October 27th, a Sunday afternoon, J and I went out to Lord Hill Park (near Snohomish) where we met up with a colleague of J's (her name starts with S) who is a mushroom expert and a great photographer. I follow her on Instagram and enjoy all the close up photos she takes of mushrooms. She brought her young son along and he was an expert at spotting mushrooms.

We went way off the official paths and found an amazing amount and variety of mushrooms.
I learned a lot from S and had a lot of fun. I don't know the names of all the mushrooms we spotted. In time, I'll get better at identification.

S took this photo of J and I taking photographs.

These are coral mushrooms. They are actually really small.

These are "boring" mushrooms but boy, did we find a lot of them in one place!

I think this is an oyster mushroom.

These mushrooms were my favourite, due to their colour.

It was pretty dark in the forest so many of the photos I took turned out blurry. S used a macro attachment (clipped onto her phone) to take close up photos. I've asked Santa for one for Christmas.
