Bears and Mushrooms


Still raining heavily, so we decided to hike to a secluded beach in Pacific Rim National Park - but it appears that a mother bear and her two young cubs enjoy the same beach, so Parks Canada wisely posted a 'Do Not Enter' sign at the trailhead.

But we did see these beautiful mushrooms.....although I have no idea what type they are. They are edible though, right?

They look like amanitas.

Maybe Amanita muscaria?

Okay....let's call them Amanita muscaria. And I assume I shouldn't be snacking on them during my next hike?
