There are always more mushrooms further up and we were hunting for edible Pinerings.
There were none up to that point which was dissappointing, but it did not stop the children from having a wonderful time. We only saw baboons right at the bottom, although we could hear them calling throughout the walk.
The rivers and waterfalls were running strongly after all the rain we have had....but no mushrooms!
Right at the end the younger boys found some lovely mushies, just not the edible kind! We hope to walk again and make it to Level 5 before mushrooming season is over.

What a fun outing for the kids and the moms. Baboons? We certainly don't have those in the forest here! It sounds like a great experience.
What a beautiful forest! And not a wasted day out, even if there were no edible mushrooms to be found. Hopefully you come across some for eating soon. ;o)
Tokai Forest is wonderful but the trees are slowly being felled which is a great sadness.
Besides for the beauty, many animals are being displaced in particular the Fish Eagles and Porcupines.
The baboon troops are also being forced down to the residential areas which is causing a whole host of problems.
But while the forest is still here, we delight in it.
