Texas, May 23, 2020On a tranquil spring day in May of 2020, I embarked on a hike through the picturesque Sam Houston National Forest located just north of Montgomery, Texas. As I traversed the scenic Caney Creek Trail (also known as Little Lake Creek Loop Trail), my keen eye for detail was rewarded with the sighting of an array of fascinating mushrooms.
