ABC Wednesday--M is for Mushrooms


When you go hiking in the fall, the variety of mushrooms is always amazing. Here is a collection of some of the ones we found while hiking in Alaska.
These were along the trails near McKinley Princess Lodge. They had a visitor.
There were a huge variety on the trails near Skagway.





A size reference.
Taking shelter.
We found these in the Juneau area.
















We were told that these were Coral Mushrooms. They are not like coral mushrooms we have seen before.


Thanks Denise for sponsoring
ABC Wednesday in its fifth round.

    They are great to look at, but I will refrain from eating them. Even the ones that are supposedly okay.

    Fabulous shots of such a variety of mushrooms -- I don't care to eat them, but they're fun to look a! And a fun post for the M day!

    Enjoy!

    I was amazed at the size of several of these mushrooms. When I was a child, our family went out to gather mushrooms. I didn't recognize some of these! Beautiful, aren't they?

    What variety, we don't see so many in the Sierra. Your College Fjord shots are stunning.

    I love the pictures, but I have absolutely no capacity to ascertain which are delicious and which are fatal.

    I only eat those I buy at the supermarket.

    Our mushroom afficionado friend tells us that we are really missing something, that when they chose which variety of mushrooms to raise for supermarket sales, they chose from the ones with the mildest flavor.

    That's okay with me. (You should see her lunch in September. -- no, you should smell it.)
