Mushrooms Anyone?

Below are my sketches of mushrooms found in Wainfleet in the Niagara peninsula. One of my daughters lives there. Remember that a field trip to collect mushrooms requires careful attention to the ground, logs, stumps, branches , the leaves, moss, and yes, even standing trees. I know from early experience that many mushrooms are easily overlooked. They can blend in with the vegetation or often under partially covered leaves or humus on he forest floor.Some of my friends in dense covering use a cane or stick to brush plants aside and uncover mushrooms that otherwise may go undetected. The late Doctor Fuller, noted fungi scientist, said to examine a specimen properly collect the young buttons as well as the mature ones. He used wax paper packages to take his specimens back to his laboratory, He always made field notes at the site
If he could not do his study that day he would refrigerate the specimens in their bag overnight and do his study he next day. A careful and precise mushroom scientist. He inspired many of us..
