私は普段は匂いがわからず残念な思いをするのですが、これらは私でも匂えます

きゅうり臭のきのこ、嗅いだことありますか？

Strawberry peak (3) gGm

gorgeous Golden mushroom
残念ながら種の同定はできていませんが























日本で、みんなできのこ狩りというと、みんな列になって山道を歩くというイメージが強いかと思います

けれどここでは、集合時とお昼御飯（同定タイム）だけ一緒に行動し、あとは各々自分の好きな方角へ散ります

（帰る時間もばらばらだったりします）

なので、それぞれがいろんなきのこを見つけます

もちろん、自分だけ何も見つけられなかった、ということもあります















この金のきのこは、私たちだけが見つけたので、グループのみんなは羨ましがっていました

へっへへ☆
