Berry picking attempt no.1

Just the other day we ( JH, Jenzi, Stace and I ) had an idea to go berry picking in a forest identified by Jenzi. Our fun sounding activity turned out to be hiking in the woods with 10000 mosquito bites and picking of dangerous berries that we didnt even know was edible or not. Needless to say it was still fun plucking strange blueberry lookalikes and trying to convince ourselve it was blueberry.
 Everyone being fascinated by the woods
 Hiking made easy, with wooden planks for you to follow! Only in Sweden
 Look how prepared Jenzi is, slippers and all. 
 Our precious berries (which turned out to be inedible)
 Moss cushioned forest, its like walking on sponge
 shrooms. Dont eat these. or actually i dont know
 The trees are all around!
 Stacy and her obsession with instagraming everything. 
 The newspaper is for collecting berries kachang puteh style
 another instagram opportunity
 If you could sleep here would you?
 We chanced upon this scout camping site in the middle of the forest
 Its empty but looks like it can house alot of little scouts
 Okay Jenzi told us there was a reservoir waiting to be found and all we got was a swamp.  
 Kinda reminded me of the movie Swamp Thing, where a monster lurks beneath the waters. 

 It really looks scary in the day so i guess at night when the scouts go missing, they know which pool to look out for
 Inspecting if it was safe to swim inside, if we could do 25m dives
 Jenzi's true feelings about stacy, and JH's too
 Its strange how it ended so abruptly, like it was a mistake to even build this little platform

 Okay we thought these were blueberries so we were plucking them real happily, until JH squished one and it had this nasty smell gosh

 Look at our loot
 Exploiting nature for good photos everyday

 I dont know why but i guess this kinda looks like an enormous hand 
That was the end of our short lived berry picking adventure. We really had no idea which were the correct berries thus we ended up with no edible ones. So guys and gals, remmeber to do your research before you go out in the woods to pluck berries. Those stories where people chance upon wild raspberries are just stories most of the time you get weird looking shrooms and fungi.
