The Mushroom Hunters


What's fun about this hobby is that you generally know nothing about the story behind the picture. Sometime you know when te slide was processed, and occassionally there will be a few words scrawled on the slide. And that's it.

So your brain starts looking for clues, making stories, trying to make sense.  On the slide above, I'm guessing that they're out collecting wild mushrooms...gumboots, baskets, woodland. Yes, it seems likely.   And yet, some people seem not to be dressed for a day in the country. Were they kidnapped by an errant band of mycologists ?  Have they been over-indulging in 'shrooms already.

If you have a better theory, please...speak up !
