Copper mountain via Wagonwheel attempt

Wagon Wheel Ridge
(I saw a small plane buzz this ridge today)

This was the only clear day this week and maybe my last chance to try to get up Copper Mountain before the snows hits the high country. 

Mushroom season has started

Meadow mushrooms (Agaricus campestris)  have arrived just three days after the first rain.  Here is a picture of a basidia with one spore attached... On second thought, this meadow gets watered so maybe they were already popping here before the rain..

Basidia with one spore.  This looks like a two pronged basidia.

Kitsap Mushroom Show

Here are some pictures from the Kitsap mushroom show.  They put on a nice show inspite of the dry weather.  I did not see Ranger Davis at the show.    I'll see you all at the radical mycology convergence next weekend! http://radicalmycologyconvergence.wordpress.com/

Mount Washington

This was not a hike, this was a climb. It rates 35 on the hike difficulty calculator

I finally got my big mountain for the summer.  This makes up for not making it up the Brothers.
