I like mushrooms too Doreen. Thanks!
Oh how I like this! Mushrooms are wonderful to find!
Thanks Mark. I've corrected the scientific name by adding an "L". The largest of the two mushrooms was about 4 inches across and chunky on the sides.
Thanks also Leuba for comment. Pocomoke River State Park is beautiful with so much forest to roam and seeing the mountain laurel in bloom, and also hearing all the birds singing.
(just noticed a typo - sci name needs an 'L' Tylopilus felleus) ;-)
Chunky bolete. Are they large?
Nice spotting ! lovely park.
