Fairy Homes

Mushrooms in newfoundlandOne of the great things about the Wonderful World of Whiteway are the many hiking trails that surround us. We try to partake as often as possible – and thankfully, with the summer season winding down, that means we have more time to partake.

So, partake we did a few days ago, on a beautiful afternoon. And quickly  we came upon this huge mushroom.  We used to think they were fairy homes when we were kids – and yes, we really believe in fairies (in fact, some, like our good friend and Just Breathe guide Lisa, still do!).

There was always lots of mushrooms in the woods growing up, but this is one of the bigger ones I’ve seen – must be a fairy apartment building. Or perhaps a hidden Tudor Inn built by an Irish doctor, tucked away for when they need a weekend getaway!
