A mossy log pointing downhill hosted a small community of mushrooms.

It was rainy, and a perfect Friday for mushrooms -- cool, dark and wet. Joan Tito and I were seeing how far we could get on Tiger 3. We hiked only one mile, in approximately an hour. The Tiger Mountain Green Trails map, which shows elevations, indicated we had reached the 1,360 foot elevation contour, meaning we had climbed 740 feet from the elevation near the trailhead, which is listed as 520 feet.

A slug oozed its way over a cluster of mushrooms.
