For Jillian (and Anyone Who Likes Mushrooms)

My lovely friend Jillian, after going through my photos of Estonia, told me Estonia looks "a heckuva lot like home in Washington... but with more mushrooms, it seems."

I can't really gauge the veracity of the Washington comparison, but Jills is absolutely right that if you get out of the city, there are a TON a mushrooms lying around. Since I don't really see them much in California, and those I do see all tend to look the same, I find them fascinating, and I've noticed I've taken a lot of photos of them. I was particularly excited by the red one with white spots- I honestly thought that was the sort of mushroom that the creators of Mario Brothers made up.

  1. Those are amazing mushrooms!! Wow!

    I just realized (hours too late!) that there is an annual MUSHROOM FESTIVAL in Snohomish, WA that draws several thousand visitors... I so should have gone!

    Have you eaten any good mushroom dishes while there?
