Yellow Creek Campground May 29, 2018
Posted by stuffilikenet in Mushrooms, Photography, RV and camping.add a comment
in Plumas County is a delightful PG&E-owned small campground with nearly no amenities. It has eleven campsites, two without raccoon boxes, two vault toilets and at least running water.
It is, however, beautiful beyond compare. Located on a meadow with a stream
passing one-third of the campsites and with a canopy of pines and firs to shade the campers, it’s a little garden spot all its own…and then there are the mushrooms. Oh my goodness, the mushrooms.
I fear I have left out a few. Don’t worry; it’s raining right now so I should have new ones for you soon.
I relaxed after a hard day of squatting to photograph mushrooms (that weren’t there when I left camp this afternoon) by photographing their newer brethren, freshly emerged into my camera’s eye while being serenaded by at least six different kinds of birds (a red hawk among them) at sunset. After dark there are frogs to keep the gentle susurration going, so that my sleep is as peaceful as can be…except knowing there are black bears about (my first day here there was a mound of bear evidence[1]).
Also, there are cute ice flowers to be admired, if you look carefully for them.
1. I may continue to use “evidence” as an euphemism for all things scatological in future.
Patrick’s Point, Postage-stamp Park January 12, 2018

In December I had the most delightful visit to Patrick’s Point Park, a 1.5 mile by about 1.0 mile-wide campground and park. Being pretty darned cold, it was mostly empty, the way I prefer my natural surroundings. It was peak mushroom season and shrooms were found about every five feet on the nature trails. Only one hallucinogenic (amanita mascara), so don’t rush there to pick’em; their are signs all over the place admonishing visitors to leave the shrooms and flowers untouched. And since nobody is around, violators will be easy to spot.
This set of photos is just me on a maybe one-mile hike. For comparison, that is a size 11 men’s foot you see in the images. Also; there is ample scenic beauty besides my unnatural interest in mushrooms.
