mushrooms climbthe trunk of a silver tree --Quill Hill, Maine

september 30, 2023

notes

Fálki and I visited Quill Hill, Maine, in September 2023. We were staying in Strong, so it was a shortish drive.

The views at Quill Hill's peak are supposed to be 360 degrees, but there were too many people up there when we arrived, so we hiked 3/4 mile down to the lower viewing area.

Along the way we saw many silver trees that seemed to be dead but thriving. Some of them had mushrooms on them.
