I arrived at camp earlier than the rest of my crew Friday afternoon. I got bored reading and relaxing and decided to go for a walk. I immediately noticed the forest floor had tons of mushrooms and that presented a fun, different photo op than normal.
Mounting up my trusty Canon EF 100 macro lens to my EOS R5, I began crouching and crawling in the dirt, capturing tons of pics of the cool, widely varying types of mushrooms that seemed to be everywhere.
I did not pick any to eat as I would have no idea what was safe and what was not. With my luck, whatever I picked would have probably been the most poisonous in the forest and I would not be here sharing these. 😉
