Mushroom hunt
I went on a mushroom walk weekend before last. I didn't realize that there are people that like to hunt mushrooms as much I like to look for birds. It was such fun being with such a group. The leader of the group was Dr Andrew Methven from Eastern Illinois University. It was a blast.
I saw mushrooms that I have only seen in books before. Those people can really spot those mushrooms in the forest duff.

Fun thing to hunt for. Not sure I would want to eat them even so. I am chicken. Great drawing. To funny how you and Teri did mushrooms today.
Very cool sketch Lisa. Are we on the same page of what!!! Too funny about our great minds.
I really enjoy this type of sketch. (sketches from the diary of a naturalist). Whenever we go to the Drakensberg I love to photograph the different mushrooms in the forest. Like you I was always interested in the birds but now I love to find fungi as well.
Hi Lisa! I saw Teri's blog and had to chuckle at your both writing and drawing mushrooms!
I think I would like going along on a hike like yours....I don't know much about mushrooms (except I like to eat the non-poison ones)! A-ha-ha!
Did you ever see that Black Skimmer again?
Big Hugs,

Wow!! great depth in this sketch!!
Wild mushrooms scare me. I know how quickly you can go into liver failure. Strange too think about it. Who would guess? You'd really have to know your stuff.
Isn't that neat? I think it would be super fun to hunt mushrooms. Great drawing once again.
What beautiful plans. Thanks for sharing your journal. You teach me plenty!
wow! your painting is so realistic - I had to enlarge it to look at the nut hull. Very well done - the shading is really good. I'm enjoying going around to everyone's blogs and seeing a variety of mushrooms. How fun that you all had the same idea!
What an unusual shroom! AND...what a neat class! I know you enjoyed it so much, Lisa! Your sketch is awesome!!!

I have to agree with Art Propelled on the sketches from a naturalist's journal—very cool, Lisa! It sounds like it was a lot of fun too!
You would love it her ethen, lots of mushies to see. As for drawing them, I wouldn't know where to start. LOL. love it, such a delicate piece of work (as only you can do my friend).
