August Hedgehogs
Teeth. Oh baby how we love finding hedgies! And in August already. Found on Lower Mount Elphinstone.
Russula blackula
Russulas like charcoal. So very cool. But what shall we call them? This blacker than black russie was found at TrailFest.
Lobsters
Thumbs up to this lobster found by a trail in Sprockids. A great place to find lobsters, if the bugs don’t find them first!
