While we were at Spindletree, we wandered off into some forest at the back of the property. The first thing we noticed were the deer flies and mosquitoes, which were unrelentings. The second thing we noticed was all the mushrooms in this little piece of forest. There were lots of boletes…

…including the one below, which as huge, maybe 8 inches across the cap

I also spotted one chanterelle, a variety or resupinates and polypores, and some yellow Amanitas (DO NOT CONSUME), like the one below.
