A Walk In The Woods With Yellow Elanor

Throughout most of her day-to-day life, Rachel Zoller is a mom, an office administrator, and an educator.  But when she heads out into the fields and woodlands of North America she becomes "Yellow Elanor," a specialist in all things fungi related.

Just a few weeks back, Rachel (i.e.: Ms. Elanor) and I headed up a mountainous trail on the Washington side of the Columbia Gorge, where we hunted for mushrooms and talked about...  Well... About a wide variety of mushroom related topics.

This was a really fun episode to make AND a physically challenging episode to record: myself, I was wearing about 20 pounds of audio gear strapped to my body as I huffed and puffed up the mountain trail.

Oh!  And do be sure to listen all the way through to the very end, where there's a last minute mushroom encounter that...  That...  Well, it's hard to describe...  But it's an entertaining encounter.

Show notes, with photos from our hike, pictures of the mushrooms we encountered, and links to various books and topics mentioned can be found in the "Episodes" section of the "I Find It Interesting" website:
