This was a great walk, led by Morrs Palmer and Beverly Leffers. Finally the rain is producing a wide variey of mushrooms, so many that it was difficult to pass any by without wanting to photograph them all. But my walk mates reminded me they had other things to do this day than to wait for me and several other possesed members. So we practically ran the last half of the trail to catch up to the rest of our troop. I just know we left many mushrooms unseen! Well, the good thing is - I believe the fruitfulness of this walk is a foretaste of our upcoming big four day foray in Moodus, CT!
