It’s been unseasonably warm and very wet this past week so I picked up Mike and we went mushroom huntin
It was extremely wet.
There was a wide variety of mushrooms including this very pretty cluster of Russula.
There were a number of Lobster Mushrooms, but they were all too far gone to collect.

Lactarius deliciosus,
I found a number of nice Lactarius. I probably should of collected some. They were in better shape than most of the chanterelles I found.

Many of the chanterelles were soggy and soft. We found a few that had just come up and were still firm. We also found a lot of stumps. Our secret patch is no longer secret.

It started getting dark. It was still raining and getting foggy so we called it a day and headed home.
This was the result of my afternoon of foraging. I think Mike found about the same. Slim pickings, but a day in the woods is never wasted.
