In true fashion, one of my talents came into play yesterday when I went to Brown-Lowery Provincial Park yesterday. There is just the very occasional wooden map sign and I always triple (at least!) check that I am going in the right direction. Well, don't ask me how I managed it, but I ended up going deeper into the forest in the opposite direction to where I thought I was going. I really do have such a dreadful sense of direction! However, if I hadn't taken a wrong turn, I would never have seen a patch of several of these gorgeous red mushrooms! They were very approximately 4" or 5" diameter. Russula emetica, also called "The Sickener", as it is poisonous.
