Mushroom Hunting in Double Trouble State Park, NJ

This trip was my first time at Double Trouble. A state park in the Pine Barrens, it's distinguished by pine forests and a cedar swamp. There were several different kinds of mushrooms along the trails, particularly under and in the fallen pine needles. Perhaps most plentiful were the milkcaps, which lined the paths in several places throughout the park.

Besides the mushrooms, I also found a tree with several leaves covered in oak leaf gall midges. Not pictured is the yellow-billed cuckoo I saw, but was not able to snag a photo of.
