This is just an interim blog post, since the weather hasn’t been cooperating for the last while. It has been very unsettled, with frequent rain, fog, and haziness, not the type of weather that I can do anything substantial. But the forecast, if you can believe it, says that nice weather is on the way, in the next couple of days.
Anyway, this damp weather has been favorable for fungi, so, as always, I just go with the flow. Let’s take a look at some favorable fungi;
It was a very gloomy day, and that shows in the pictures, but this is only the beginning of mushroom season, so I’m sure that I’ll get a brighter day to get some better shots of all the amazing mushrooms in this area. Until then, I wait.
The next day, it was a bit brighter outside, so I took some more mushroom shots;
I’m just waiting for this dreaded humidity to clear out, so that I can get back into the bush.
Yes! Mushroom season began early this year thanks to an over-abundance of rain. I just got back from a five day stay at Lake Superior Provincial Park with some local and out-of-town friends. Rather than rain, we had this thick pea-souper fog over Lake Superior Provincial Park and Agawa Bay campground where we stayed. The daytrip to Wawa saw us mostly in the clouds with Highway 17 climbing some huge hills along the way. Of course, there was plenty of mushrooms in the campground and in Wawa where we hiked trails at Vallee Park and Magpie Falls. Having a campfire back at the campsite was the best to stay dry in the damp weather. I look forward to nicer sunny weather next week.
Mushrooms are a favorite subject of mine. They don’t move, when I’m trying to take pictures of them, and there are so many different sizes, shapes, and colors. One of the big issues I’ve had this year is the constant haze, fog, smoky conditions. Not good for taking pictures, or flying the drone. Anyway, we make the best out of what we get.
