More! More!!!
Morel Madness At Mingo Creek Park!
Saturday we went to Mingo Creek Park in Washington County for the Western Pennsylvania Mushroom Club's annual Morel Madness outing. I'd never been to Mingo Creek, and its a very pretty county park near Washington PA. I figured even if we didn't find any mushrooms, we'd get to take a nice walk in the woods. Enjoy the photos below!As always, click on the pics for a closer look.

The first morel of the day! A woman in our group found this alongside the road before we even reached the trail head. Several more were found nearby.Labels: fungi, mingo creek, morels, mushrooms, nature, WPMC

I found a large clump of these mushrooms growing at the base of a dead tree back in the woods. Not sure what it is, but I think it is some species of Mycena. Could be alcohol inkies too, but I'm no expert. The stem is hollow, and the cap has lines radiating out from the center to the edge.Any guesses?
