I was chair hopping around the yard this morning when my brother Barry drove in with his dirt bike.
He said he wanted to go wild mushroom hunting up in the hills, so I got my bike out and joined him.
The hunt
This was the first place we stopped to have a look around. We mainly ride the dirt bikes to a spot and stop and hike around a bit looking for mushrooms then move on to the next spot to have a look.
Barry thinks he may have one here by the downed tree on the ground.
Good one
It was small but a good one.
Lion’s Mane
We rode over to another spot and were about to leave when Barry said he saw some Lion’s Mane up by a downed tree on the ground so we stopped and he climbed up the hill to have a look.
He had to get down low to harvest them from under the log.
No luck here
We rode up to this spot and had a look around but no luck.
Barry was riding through here looking for mushrooms when he got stuck on that little tree and had to get off and pull his bike back off it. Good place for mushrooms but there where none in this spot.
Hill tops
Eventually we made it up to the Top of the World where we sat down for a good break.
We rode around some more. Barry found a few mushrooms today but I didn’t. I’ll have to keep on looking another day.
Tom has some
We headed back to my house and went over to talk with my brother Tom who had been hunting mushrooms a day or so ago.
These are one of the types we were looking for that Tom found the other day. This is one of the most sought after mushrooms in this area, called a Cacara or something like that, not sure of the spelling.
Well, that was a good day for a ride and some hiking around in the forest for some exercise, even though I didn’t find any mushrooms.
Those mushrooms are huge! I wouldn’t know what to look for that was edible.

Header Pictures
There are over a hundred pictures that are served up randomly every time you visit or change pages. They are of earlier pictures of interest and also some just to remind me of things.
A Sony AX33 4K, a video camera that takes stills too. What am I doing with that? I take pictures from my Kayak a lot. I found I was missing interesting shots, because my pic was being processed in my camera, before it would let me take another pic. Since I like to take what I call action stills, I bought this camera to take videos, that I could make stills out of, but, as a bonus, this camera also came with buttons to just take stills and that's what I mostly do, unless something is real interesting or too far away for my still zooms. My digilat zoom setting for video goes to two hundred x, and sometimes I need that, but usually, I only use the 10x lens zoom. Because this camera is HD and 4K, the quality has to be real good and it has a lot of stabilizers on it which really helps out a lot for taking pics on the water.
The other thing it has that is a must is a view finder and I had to buy Sony's top of the line cam to get it. This is a must for taking pics on the water, as you must hold the camera as still as posible and putting that eye piece to the eye forms a tripod with your arms that helps a lot. The eye piece is also a must as it works way better than a LED screen to see what you are taking a picture of in the daylight as the LED screens wash out easily in sunlight.
I also have another video camera, a Canon VIXIA G30. I use them both to mostly take stills. The Sony takes higher resolution stills than the G30. That was a bit of a disappointment as I bought the G30 to replace an older camera I dunked in the river, but then had to buy the Sony to get higher still picture resolution that the G30 was lacking.
