Mushrooms are a diverse group of fungi that come in various shapes, sizes, and colors. One particular type of mushroom that stands out is the "With hat" mushroom. This mushroom gets its name from its distinct hat or cap-like structure on top. The "With hat" mushroom is commonly found in forests or wooded areas, often growing on decaying wood or soil. It can also be cultivated for commercial purposes. This mushroom has a unique cap that ranges in color from a light brown to a deep reddish-brown.

This mushroom has a unique cap that ranges in color from a light brown to a deep reddish-brown. The cap is usually round or slightly convex, with a smooth surface that can sometimes become cracked or wrinkled with age. One striking feature of the "With hat" mushroom is the presence of gills underneath its cap.
Lake Schooner Water Witch
Water Witch was constructed as a steamboat by Jahaziel Sherman at the mouth of Otter Creek in 1832. Between 1832 and 1834 she plied Lake Champlain. However, in 1835 the Champlain Transportation Co. bought her to solidify their position as the lake’s dominant steam-boating company.

Water Witch’s days as a steamer were over. Her machinery was removed and she was converted into a schooner. Little is known of her life as a work-a-day craft propelled by wind, but we know that it was long. In 1866, she began her thirty-fourth season. She was captained by Thomas Mock, who had on board his wife and three children. On April 26 the schooner met its end when it foundered in a gale while carrying a load of iron ore. The Mock’s infant, Roa, was in the cabin, and was lost.
Water Witch was discovered in 1977, and was later studied archaeologically. This vessel is unique for both its construction and history.

These gills are thin, vertical structures that radiate from the center of the cap to the outer edge. They are responsible for producing and dispersing the mushroom's spores. The stem of the "With hat" mushroom is sturdy and often thick, providing support for the cap. It is usually the same color as the cap or slightly lighter. The stem can sometimes have a ring or veil-like structure near the top, which may serve to protect the developing gills. The "With hat" mushroom is known for its earthy, nutty flavor and its versatility in culinary applications. It can be sautéed, grilled, added to soups, stews, and sauces, or used as a topping for pizzas and pasta dishes. However, caution should be exercised when foraging for mushrooms in the wild, as some species can be toxic or hallucinogenic. In addition to its culinary uses, the "With hat" mushroom has also been studied for its potential health benefits. It is believed to contain various bioactive compounds that have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immune-boosting properties. Some research suggests that consuming mushrooms regularly may have a positive impact on overall health and well-being. Overall, the "With hat" mushroom is a fascinating and versatile fungus with its distinctive cap, gills, and stem. Whether enjoyed in a meal or appreciated for its natural beauty, this mushroom is sure to bring a unique touch to any mushroom enthusiast's collection..
