Today is the fifth day (of 11) of the Mycoblitz. I went out last week at the start of the blitz, but Wisconsin had plunged so far back into extreme drought territory that I'd only found one fresh mushroom. Over the weekend I visited family, and they were willing to hike with me both days I was visiting. It's not that I have a compulsion to catalogue species except that I have a compulsion to catalogue species. Over the weekend I found 20 species (I won't post most of the pictures here because I only had my cell phone camera). Today southern Wisconsin is getting a lot of rain, so I have a feeling this week is going to be consumed by mushroom hunting.
Pictured: We found a bunch of waxy caps, which I haven't seen in many years and was delighted to be reunited with.
