Just got home from the island. It was a good trip and I will write about it more later. Before leaving Vancouver we met up at UBC and while waiting, I spotted these mushrooms growing by a tree:

The first time for me to see mushrooms so large and so red and so spotted with my own eyes. For a long time I thought they were perhaps an exaggeration from storybooks and video games.

I didn’t eat them but don’t you wish we could in a non-mind/body altering way? I would love to cook and present food decorated with these guys.
