After abandoning our hopes of seeing the volcano, we decided to eat lunch. We turned off down a really rugged road (first time making use of the 4WD on the trip) to a little restaurant/lodge with an incredible view over the Central Valley.

This was the most exciting fungal specimen that we found that day, inside the restaurant: a bracket fungus on a log, which was then used as a support in constructing the building. Unfortunately, the fungus is upside down!
