| On October 8, 2003, we finally spent a full day at
Drakesbad, after years of just going there for lunch and a swim. We had
just been there for lunch a week before but had taken only a few pictures.
We decided then to make reservations for a week later to stay the whole day. Drakesbad is a Lassen National Park resort just north of Chester. We saw many mushrooms, but left them because it is in the park. I have tried to identify them from the pictures and from memory. Here are the mushroom pictures from that full-day stay.
