Here are more mushrooms from our Killarney Lake excursion last week.

Every year I look forward to discovering a mushroom new to me and this year our Killarney Lake excursion provided a new find, pictured above. This reddish cap with green-tinted stalk is quite unusual.

I have more photos of mushrooms to post but today's photo is just to give you some context. The glassy stillness of the lake will give you some idea of how deep the silence was in this park. Aside from the occasional deep-throated raven calls it was so quiet we often found ourselves speaking in whispers.

M-M-M-Mushroom Season

Fern and I spent the afternoon exploring part of Mount Work Regional Park, specifically the area around Killarney Lake. Mushroom season has definitely begun!
