Interesting stuff found while on a hike when the question was, what’s that white stuff under the tree?

Good day in the forest.

Today was a “Finding Lobsters” kind of day. Actually found twice as much as this. Enough that I could make my annual found more lobsters than I need visit to Steve. These are Steve’s favourite #mushrooms
