Welcome to September, y'all! The weather and the calendar still say summer, but we all know that our local mushroom season is just around the corner. Else...
Help! I am in Brussels, Belgium and today on a drive to a small town in germany at the border with belgium stopped at the side of a wooded country road. Trees...
The brown staining suggests Tylopilus which unfortunately probably means they are very bitter. Boletus appendiculatus has yellow flesh (hence the common name...
Good call, Nathan. If you tried it, and it's bitter, you have your answer. If it's Tylopilus felleus, the only Tylopilus in my European guidebook, the pores...
Nathan and Debbie, thank you for your assistance. Indeed it was tylopilus felleus. I googled it and an italian site provided plenty of pictures to confirm....
Just drove back from Crater Lake (after visiting the Burning Man action). I was amazed to see the mountain around it loaded with mushrooms. Apparently, up...

Unfortunately, I do. Even worse, I have to. D. ... From: Hugh and Sandi Smith To: BayAreaMushrooms@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, September 04, 2007 6:31 PM ...
Longtime mushroom aficionado Don Simoni, whom you've probably seen at fairs and garden shows selling his Mushroom Adventures mushroom kits, was featured in...
Here's an interesting article from the Denver Post which features Roger Kahn, organizer of the Crested Butte Mushroom Festival (without a report on the recent...
Recent gatherings. Ok, OK! I was waiting for a list of the new and rare from Larry to post. It was a stunning year for # identified and new and rare varieties,...
Thanks for the info about mushrooms in Colorado. Out of curiosity are you familiar with the species Russula avellaneiceps Fatto? I was originally described...
No, I am not familiar with it. What is the nature of your fascination? http://www.fieldmuseum.org/nama/russula_avellaneiceps.html I cannot base much on this...
Mushrooms are about to hit the big screen. Check out The Adventures of Little Herbert in Mushroom Land. http://www.accentworks.net/mushrooms.html It appears to...
Thanks! I should have thought of looking on the field museum site (or just doing a google search :-)). I collected it at the foray and was curious if it was...
O Mi God Ruth, wherever did you find this!?? What a riot! Perhaps, somewhere down the line, we could screen a copy at a BAMS meeting? Mushrooms with a moral; I...
Hi Nathan, If you are interested in the CO occurence and general range of your Russula sp., try these folks, too: Vera Evenson, Mushroom Curator at the Denver ...
Corrections: it's Bart Byuck, not Bert, and he is Belgian, not French (he does have a cute accent, what do I know, ignorant American that I am). Bart IS ...
The fire that's bringing so much smoky haze to the San Francisco Bay Area spread to about 28,000 acres today. Normally, we'd be thinking about morels, but in...
Nathan, It was not in Larry Evans list of mushrooms collected last year. In a freak occurance, the russulas are starting to pop out again here, so I will keep...
I'm curious why you are interested in this Russula. It seems somewhat "blah", even for a Russula. By the way, no word yet on a request for a reference. Phil ...
Since everyone's asking, it's a bit embarrassing, but the reason I'm interested is that I collected the official 'paratype' (vouchered collection that is...
Hi BAMS Boosters, We have lined up a number of fun, fungal events for BAMS members and wannabee members for Fall 2007. I am very pleased to announce that BAMS...
Sorry for the radio silence on this topic. Actually, the preliminary work from the Pringle lab shows that there is some difference, just not a lot of...
Glad to hear that you and Rod are attempting to resolve this issue. I am particularly curious about the supposedly "green in all parts" Lane Co., OR type ...
My understanding is that the "green in all parts" type specimen does still exist. However, it is nearly 100 years old, so getting good DNA out of it may be...
I have made herbarium collections of the spring light yellow variant under Oregon White Oak in the Columbia River Gorge. I would be glad to send them to the...
I just got this from Larry. Thought it might be of interest. Species List Crested Butte Colorado August 16-19, 2007 Notes: This year was marked by an...
