We spent the day, sort of impromptu, scavenging through the forest, seeing whatever we happened upon. Acorns, all sorts of fungi, which has really become an interest suddenly, since our receiving a giant puff ball mushroom recently, and of course the birds and fauna that are there.
Beatrix Potter was an amateur mycologist, and some of her earliest writings are about mushrooms!
We will be attempting to identify some mushrooms in the next few days/ weeks. Nothing extremely scientific or complex, just some collecting and print-making for comparative purposes. Here is one resource for our 'study'. http://americanmushrooms.com/
