Witch’s hat mushrooms on Mount Tamalpais, Marin County, CA. Just coincidence that Wicked opens in theaters tomorrow. Not a paid endorsement, although if Universal is listening, I’m open to offers. #mushrooms #Wicked #nature

Yeah, nice try trail guys! Not falling for this one again. After earlier detours to Doughnut Lake, Ribeye Steak Lake, and Wealthy Single Women Lake, I finally learned my lesson. These Sierra lakes rarely offer what is implied in their name.
