On October 8, 2003, we finally spent a full day at Drakesbad, after years of just going there for lunch and a swim. We had just been there for lunch a week before but had taken only a few pictures. We decided then to make reservations for a week later to stay the whole day.
Drakesbad is a State-owned resort just north of Chester. We saw many mushrooms there but didn't take any samples. I have tried to identify them from the pictures and from memory.
Here are the mushroom pictures from that full-day stay. Click on any image to see a close-up:
