Mushroom Picking at Black Springs / Oberon in NSW Australia. Between late February and early May. Photos using Canon 75D
Following up on my first post on Mushroom Picking, here are some photos of myself, my husband and friends frolicking in the State Forests.
The trees are different here, they are not the usual dry eucalyptus trees that flake at the trunks. These ones are a deep green, lush and points at the top. Where mushrooms grow, a smell of musty damp earth lingered in the air. It is dark among the trees and you don't hear the usual crickets or noisy kookaburras so you are embraced in an eerie silence.
This trip was one of those eye-opening ones where once again Australia keeps surprising me. I never knew we could pick mushrooms for free and find a forest so different from the usual bush walks I go on. I love being an Aussie.
