I checked one of my Cantharellus Cibarius spots today and it looks like they are starting. I put up some picks in album 'nvthis'. I warn you fairly though......
Hi Gang, The BAMS foray to Yuba Pass this coming weekend is a go. We will be camping at Chapman Creek on Friday and Saturday night, and heading out from there,...
Alas, I won't be able to join you. I am starting the Open Studios "thing" this weekend. Hope it goes better'n the Echo Summit trip which I hear wasn't so hot....
Last minute changes will prevent us from going to the Yuba Pass foray until sometime Sunday morning. Hope some of you are still there when we arrive. Herman...
Got the Echo Summit Foray photos together from this past weekend, and thought that people might want to see a few. I've posted 14 of them to the group here,...
Douglas, nice pictures. A couple of notes from me too. Not many species this weekend, but educational nevertheless. I have a couple of Corts to keep me busy. ...
Nice post, Doug, I think that you covered all of the bases. Not only can mushroom ID be confounding, but we also have a confusion of Debbies in the club. Kudos...
... Well, I'm going with imbricum for these... But they were found with pine/conifers. I'm not sure what kind really, the ones around the boggy fields up...
Herman Brown has just completed a page on my website for my trip to Indiana. Herman does a fabulous job, I think, and I am proud to have his work on a site he...
After the short rains, it was time to head out and see if any new fungi were fruiting. A short walk in Sebastopol brought forth six photos! They are posted on...
Those hardy souls who braved the long drive and potentially dry conditions up at Yuba Pass this past weekend were richly rewarded. Turns out, there was a good,...
"Our collections ranged from a variety of boletes (Tylopilus, Suillus for days and Boletus haematopus)..." As Dimi pointed out to me privately, our red pored...
The October-December 2006 issue of Bay Nature magazine has an article on SOD, which implies that the "hopscotch" nature of P. ramorum infestations could be...
Hi BAMmers, There is a brand new mushroom link on the Pt. Reyes Website, that hooks folks up to our new club, and paints a pretty portrait of our fungal...
Two people have asked about this Cortinarius..... The date on the photo is correct, but the date on the Observation was in error. I corrected it and found...
Mushroom groups routinely foray for both science and the table and make lists of what was found. I see a common thread in the after-the-fact discussions on the...
Excellent idea. A greater collaboration is something that would benefit all. I am sure we can provide significant specimen input. Even material to be studied...
Here is the species list from last weekend, compiled by Brian Perry and Dennis Desjardin. No final sp. determination on that unusual Albatrellus, alas. And...
I went up to the Plumas and Tahoe National Forests on Tuesday. The elevation was 2200 to 2600 feet, a grand place when the time is right. There was a huge...
I hear that they are valuable medicinals. I grew quite a few out of my plugged "hericium" logs (but no hericium, alas)... Debbie Viess But I sure cleaned up on...
Ditto that here Hugh.... Bone dry and nothing! I have a friend with a cabin near Chester who brought me some Hawks Wings, Lactarius, Floccosus and Suillus from...
... From: Mike Thomas <nvthis769@...> Ditto that here Hugh.... Bone dry and nothing! Been to the coast at all lately? I am supposed to go to the Bay...
The Oakland Museum is co-sponsoring a terrific event on October 28th. It's designed for teachers, but there is still room available for the public. Note the...
Hello David, long time no see. Are there going to be any forays with BAMS in November to Mendocino, Salt Point or any such places? Do you also know if David...

If you haven't looked at the website in a while, there are some significant improvements. More big changes in the coming days to this work in progress, but...
