This last hike was a wonderland of mushrooms. So like usual I was taking pictures and samples. I had found a patch of mushrooms, so I was on my hands and knees covered in mud taking pictures and digging around in the leaves. Happy in my little mushroom world. I suddenly felt like I was being watched, I glanced over my shoulder, looked over there was a class of about 30 kids and a teacher starring at me. The teacher was taking a pictures. I had to laugh, Now I know how the deer feel when we sneak up on them to take a picture! Her curiosity finally came over her and she asked what I was doing. Satisfied with my quest for science in the mycological world they carried on.
It was good mushroom hunting this month.
We had a bit of rain and cold now everything is fall like and beautiful. The leaves are all falling down so the mycelia have lots to munch on.
Malibu Creek is awesome during the week in the winter. Usually few people venture out. The less people the more wildlife. We find something new every time we hike.
I am still learning about all the mushrooms so I have not identified all of them, but here are some of the ones we came across.
Hypomyces Chrysospermus (Bolete Mold on bolete)
