Looks like an admirable bolete. Nice shot!

Love that spot! Haven’t been in years!

Ground level viewpoint of two large golden mushrooms with frilly caps growing up out of the forest duff.

There are some monster mushrooms brewing out there! Some large chanterelles found in Mt. Hood National Forest recently.

The OR coast is a mushroom hunters dream. Whether you're picking coastal porcini & chanterelle, enjoying wandering trails, or pursuing the funkier fungal finds.

The dreamiest places are often found off the beaten path.

So true!!!

Wolverine is like a bucket list animal to see in the wild! That’s so cool!

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day today & every day.

Check out this website & interactive map to understand whose land we are occupying. W/more links from there to learn more about each of the tribes in your area. native-land.ca

Still so cool to me! I’ve seen a badger but I didn’t get a photo.

Thank you! The mushrooms in the forest really stood out to me one day and I decided I needed to paint the moment.

If you happen to see one and get a photo I’d love to see it. I would like to do a whole series on mustelids, they’re all so sassy and interesting! 😅

Meet Your Maker Market just opened! We’re here at White Owl in PDX til 8pm! 🍻 21+

📍1305 SE 8th Ave, Portland, OR 97214

Also, thanks for answering. Wasn’t sure anyone would respond to this. Lol

Yep. Folks are either tuned out, or they’re tuned in & being spoon fed lies. Frustratingly, ppl who hate PDX know it’s a lie & justify by saying “well, homeless people” as if that isn’t a problem in every major US city. How does homeless folks *existing* justify sending in the national guard? Wild 🤦🏼‍♀️

Folks from other places. Y’all know that the news about Portland is false, right? The stories that the city is a burning hellhole?

Lies.

US media is complicit for pedaling the lies, even showing video clips from other countries to fit the narrative.

Their lies WILL bring harm to PDX.

Mushroom foraging is just adult treasure hunting.

CHANGE MY MIND!

Took a trip to the coast to pick some porcini! Needs more rain to get really productive but they’re still coming up in the Pacific Northwest. Magical lil things. ☺️

The Freedom Frogs of Portland are multiplying. It’s beautiful.

Thanks! It’s definitely different every year here as well, depending on rain.

I know, it was kinda perfect 😄
