  1. Uploading some great shots of Fungi the wife's now planning a trip to Washington State !!! Posted 9 years ago
    1. lol - we do have a huge diversity. All summer long it hides underground, but when September - October rolls around and we get a bit of rain it's simply amazing what pops out of the ground. On the other hand... if I were planning a fungi hunting trip I'd want to go to New Zealand - OMG... what they have there is simply astonishing. Posted 9 years ago

        1. ha - the fact that it takes a crazy amount of time to get there (and I think it may even be less from here than it would be for you....) is the only reason I haven't already gone. Posted 9 years ago
