I’m in Maine in search of the eastern species of moose, alces ales Taiga. We’re searching along the highways and byways and took the 2 mile walk to Moxie Falls. It is a beautiful walk in the woods and although we didn’t see any moose along the way, if you look down, you can find interesting things on the forest floor. I was captivated by the many different species of mushroom we encountered. Amanita flavoconia, also called Yellow Patches, was in a perfect patch of light when we walked by. As fascinating as it looks, it is thought to be poisonous so appreciating this beauty from afar is best.
