Pink does look pretty, knowing what you looking at when seeing them often enough is rewarding. We normally have mushrooms after lightning storms, yet this year I have yet to see one!

Yeah I'm usually reading lots of state guides on mushroom observer just in case I find something new. https://mushroomobserver.org/species_list/show_species_list/212

I joined a few forums and searched sites, the one above included, still lack knowledge when on the go, or forget what I had previously researched... peachy to say the least!

Those latin names are pretty difficult to memorize, I just remember that I've seen them before then have to search through mushroom observer again to find the name.

I use Yandex picture search to get a close idea, then move into local searching, never remember the names that is a certainty!
