Thanksgiving, a beautiful fall day, off and exploring.
Mushrooms, everywhere, and I'm taking pictures and googling them because I know nothing about foraging and while they all look tasty I'm pretty sure I could come to some bad end as a result of faulty guesswork.
When I get back into cell range I search them. A couple are "agarics", not a good thing, others inedible or unknown, one apparently a variety of Oyster Mushroom...
IN any event while there's a wide variety most are inedible.

Then to the mines:
Enticing, top left note the mass of quartz crystals. Dirty, white, not what I'm after.
A lots of quartz, the blue beneath I suspect is fluorite.
And the big blocky grey stones - perfectly formed Galena (Silver/Lead ore) - large crystals, a huge seam right in the ceiling...The gold reflections are pyrites,
Another view of some great Galena Crystals, which, cleaned up, just might be saleable. Note the quartz crystals upper left.
Center top, big vug filled with dirty quartz.
left, gold-ish patch of arsenio-pyrites, other minerals.
The Galena here is the real treasure, and the great crystal shape might just make it collector quality....
