On this day we took an old friend who was visiting us for the weekend, to one of our chanterelle spots at 4500ft., as he had never been out looking for...
In a hard-boiled town like Chicago, even the mushrooms can turn a triffle noir. At the Chicago Botanical Gardens, where the Illinois Mycological Association ...
"The flavor was pleasantly mild, compared to, say, the over-ripe, open the window, dear, stinky cheese flavor of a stinkhorn egg." I have never tried one...
You can find earthstars in a can at your local Thai grocery store. I believe there used to be one in Berkeley on University Avenue. Last Christmas I was in...
It has been a pretty poor mushroom year in almost all areas so far, but today we actually found more than one species, although not very many of each. We took...
