Dirt Bike Ride Up In the Forest Looking for Popping Edible Wild Mushrooms

Monday November 15, 2021 Guerneville CA.

Hunting wild mushrooms

Barry was coming by around noon to take a dirt bike ride up into the forest to look to see if any edible wild mushrooms were popping up yet.

He showed up and we were prepping to take a ride, getting ready to go.prep

 

Fishing talk

But before we got going my brother Tom came by so we were delayed an hour or so while he and Barry shot the bull about crabbing and fishing in the ocean which they are both starting to get into and crab season just is opening up.brothers

 

Cold up there

We finally did get off on our bike ride and rode up into the hills and over by our neighbors place. It was damp and cold over there as the sun was mostly clouded over. I had freezing hands as we made it to our rest area at the Top of the World,  here.view

It’s a nice view from that spot as well as a nice place to rest.clouds

Lion’s Mane

After a good rest and warmed up a bit we hit the trails again, stopping here to look at this strange mushroom just starting to come up. Barry says these are Lions Mane I think. Eventually this will pop up into mushrooms.lionsmane

We continued riding around looking for edible wild mushrooms. We weren’t doing too good but finally just before starting home Barry spotted some of the best ones to eat. There’s about four or five of them in the leaves here.shrooms

 

Barry got out his knife and cut them for bagging.cutting

 

I let him have all of them as I’ll look for some more in the days to come.harvesting

 

We’d had a good ride and a good hunt so we headed for home.

Barry took off for home when he got back to my place and I did some chair hopping until the day was about over and the day started to chill.

Nice day.
