I haven’t backpacked for fun since finishing the Appalachian Trail in 2022. While I still don’t like sleeping in stinky clothes, there’s nothing more mind cleansing than being outside for a while. Bolton VT, May 13th 2025

Today was my most successful morel search by far. All of them are black morels (Morchella elata group). In the last photo, you can see some little ones poking up through a gravel road. Very tough!

The large wefts of Hylocomium splendens caught my eye from quite a ways away. It wasn’t until I took out my hand lens that I noticed the smaller Atrichum sp. taking shelter under the larger moss. Belvidere Vermont, 5/4/2025

While on a run this afternoon, I had to stop to watch 3 beavers attempt to shoo away this black bear from their dam. One of the coolest wildlife moments I have ever experienced!

I’ve seen a few of these lately, one of the first mushrooms to pop up for the year in northern New England. Now called Maublancomyces korfii but familiarly Gyromitra korfii.

You and I are participants in genocide. The trump-musk-vance-kennedy cabal likes killing people. A weak congress and complicit media are co-conspirators. Public health is being crippled. USID is our greatest foreign policy program, and cuts to it will kill 25 million people. We have to stop killing.
