Hi everyone, We would like to welcome our new webmaster Joe Neves, who has made some updates to the BAMS website: www.bayareamushrooms.org. Joe lives in Fort...
Today Cecelia and I went up our "appendiculatus" spot at around 4800 ft. to meet up with our new friend and mushroom hunter, Denise DeRose. I wasn't expecting...
Hi Herman, first off congrats, my sierra sites dried out long ago...has any body suggested looking into B. smithii? it is very similar to appendiculatus but...
Hi, I did some quick microscopy on the slice of the mysterious Boletus that Herman sent me. First of all it is a Boletus, not the other possibilities that were...
And then again reading through the CA Boletes -- the numbers can match what I've got down there, but they're significantly different than the European...
Sorry for the late notice, but this should be fun. Evelyn ... Workshop: Learn How to Grow Delicious and Medicinal Mushrooms UC Berkeley professional mycologist...
Well, I tried ALL the emails, and haven't heard back. If you know anyone else, would love to know. Roger has a fresh specimen in his fridge still. Do you...
Hi Gang, I discovered a bin of mixed morels at the Berkeley Bowl yesterday...beat up blondes, bruised blacks and a few good looking grays. Because the grays...
Speaking for myself, I was absolutely thrilled to meet Cecelia and Herman, to spend lovely time tromping through the woods with them, and then on top of that...
My vision is just about as tunneled as the rest of my mushrooming friends when it comes to reframing forest fires, but really, it is rather horrifying to read ...
My Dear Debbie, and friends, Do not despair the blackened forests. It may be a disaster for burned out homeowners as well as their insurance companies, but...
Very cool, Mark. I had never heard of this one before. David R., when he saw it, immediately said "termite mushroom", and in fact, there probably is a ...
Hi All, I was recently contacted by a woman, Diana, in Transylvania about a mushroom foray that she is hosting in September. There are currently two spaces...
Here are two good reads: An interesting, inside story about commercial mushroom hunting in Washington state at last year's Tripod Fire from the June 30 Seattle...
Hey Gang, FYI, conditions for mushrooms are looking to be ideal in West Virginia for next month's NAMA foray. After a prolonged period of dry weather (and no...
Thanks to everyone who showed up at UC Berkeley yesterday to help process the mountains of specimens from our two years of collecting at Pt. Reyes. A task that...
well, my trip to the coast turned out not as fruitful as I had hoped. From Bodega to Bragg I searched and that was about it. I found 5 Agaricus Augustus in...
I think it may be too early Mike, or it's not going to happen. We had some come out in early June, which I was too late for, but I feel that's early for Fort...
Jeeze, guys.... My bad.... I paid almost no attention to them at all. The darker ones were found in mixed woods (Including redwood) and were very dark purple...
Where are they? They're in the ocean. They like certain places. Maybe they don't like these certain places but that's where the ocean deposits them when...
Subsequent stories indicate that a total of 8 people died. When border/territory disputes involve tossing hand grenades, there's probably more to the story...
Very interesting. I'm going to be travelling in that same area for 2 weeks in August. July and August are the peak of the mushroom season and I've read that...
