Our Southcentral Alaskan town is on the coast of Resurrection Bay, so we get lots of moisture and lots of mushrooms. I've begun taking photos of them, and have developed an interest in them in general.

However, I have to say, I'm pretty phobic myself. There are puffballs all over my yard, but I'd not tried eating one until this year. Everytime I try a wild mushroom, I have the urge to leave a farewell note, just in case.

Just including this photo for interest, but these are not on my list of edibles.
