Summary

Walks on September 8 and 9, 2004, along the Hidden Valley Trail and near Lake Geneserath’s North Arm produced a large photographic record of fall mushrooms, along with observations of a beaver pond, blue heron, woodpeckers, chipmunks, grouse, and trail conditions.

Evidence limits

The newspaper does not identify the mushrooms to species and presents a personal observation account rather than a biological survey or species inventory.
