|
| After Fort Ord, we foraged a while in Iris Canyon. | ||
|
|
||
| Impressive example of a Western Jack O'Lantern. | ||
|
|
|
| After the foray, collected mushrooms were displayed for identification. | ||
|
||
| Everyone enjoyed examining the many specimens up close. | ||
|
|
|
| David fields a Fly Agaric question from someone in the audience. | ||
|
||
| The
day's pleasures included a feast prepared in a nearby park by Monterey's nationally known TV Chef John Pisto. |
||
|
||
| The feast began with steaming cups of deliciously thick mushroom soup. | ||
|
||
| One of David's close friends played tunes for us on a small accordion. | ||
|
||
| We four - total strangers that morning - became fast friends. | ||
|
||
| What a perfect day -- and a most memorable experience! | ||
