We meet at the Ballpark in Gillies Bay at 10:00am
Last week we again had quite a small group of hikers and a perfect day for walking and certainly a good time to visit one of our many lunchspots with a view. Driving south towards Davie Bay and then at Eagle Creek taking the road on the left we parked part way up to Thompson Road. Thompson Bluffs was the destination and it truly was a great day to be at that viewpoint with the wide sweep of the Vancouver Island Mountains in front of us.
Usually we have to wait till the fall to start gathering bags full of mushrooms so it was quite a surprise to come upon a great mass of the edible Oyster Mushroom on a hike in May! They were in good condition for eating and every hiker who wanted some was able to go home with any amount they felt they could use. I cooked some each day for three days and used some of them even in an omelette.
