Indian Cucumber Root

A fading plant caught my attention on a recent hike over Mount Sunapee on SRKG Trail 1 from Newbury to Goshen. I have so many images from the last few months I’d like to post and share, but this has been a very busy time. Too much to do outside, including photography, that I’m way behind on editing images. But I did want to post two images of Indian Cucumber Root plants found a short way up the Newbury Trail.


A bit further up the trail something yellow was glowing in the woods. Chicken-of-the-Woods beckoned. We walked over and took a number of photos. I still remember the morning on the Saco River when Peg emerged from the woods carrying this mushroom and proceeded to cut it up and put it in the scrambled eggs. Trusting her was easy and the sulfur shelf mushrooms were delicious. I picked a small group from behind the log shown below leaving the beautiful clumps on the front side for others to enjoy.
