It's a mushroom blog! I am crazy for wild mushrooms, and all their friends and associates. I go hiking in central Missouri, looking for mushrooms, and find lots of other woodland citizens along the way. Heavy on macro-photography, with bite-sized fact morsels throughout.

Indigo Milkies
Lactarius indigo |
Hollow stem and blue fingers |
When the gills of a fresh one are damaged, marvelous indigo-blue juice oozes out (and fast!). And they're edible, and I've got four nice ones in the fridge right now. I hear they're kind of grainy or gritty. And they will turn scrambled eggs green! So, the choice is obvious.
