Golden Pancakes with Syrup, or is it? Growing in the wild, shinning with the utmost glory of the warmest color of golden brown. Laced with droplets of syrup/water to make them even more edible in appearance.

Well, I have no idea what kind of mushroom these are, but I am going to guess they probably might not be edible just because they look so good.

The water droplets actually did look like syrup, I did not touch them. But it had not rained at all when I saw these. So it could be a syrup substance coming from the mushroom to make them look more enticing.

We did leave them alone and in this whole park that we hiked at, this is the only place we saw these mushrooms. So they must be special, even the park workers mowed around them. Just a little golden nugget to start your day.

A Drive to a New Lake

By Sandra | October 25, 2020

A Drive to a New Lake, I found a new lake that I had not been to before. Well, the lake is not new, just new to me. A beautiful spot in the forest and it also had a wonderful campground right next to the lake.

Lots of mushrooms and green moss everywhere, they look like little pancakes everywhere.

And a few wild flowers strewn about

This sign was at the entrance to the park, it reads; This area was harvested utilizing the clearcut method to salvage Balsam Fir and Spruce trees due to insect infestation and to promote new Aspen regeneration for Grouse habitat.

The picture on the left is the before and the photo on the right of the sign is the after. The forest before is prone to more insect disease and wild fires. It really was a remarkable area with lush greenery everywhere. This is where land management seems to work.
