I was told about a little village of ink cap mushrooms growing near the road at the Laurel Gorge Cultural Heritage Center where I sit the gallery two days a week. I stopped and got some wonderful photos of these amazing little mushrooms. I found out that these mushroom are actually edible if you get to them before they start looking like they have ink on them. As young shrooms they are a solid white and that is when you can cook them and eat them, as they age they get a black inky color to them and they eventually dissolve into an inky mess, hence the name shaggy ink caps. These are just one of the millions of wonder that our earth provides up to find when we open our eyes and take a look. Take a look around and see what you can find.
