In Santa Cruz some of the New Leaf Markets carry the dropper bottles (for tinctures etc.). A local health food store might be more appropriate than the...
Just returned from Fort Bragg. Same story as my last writing except more of everything. A lot more! Lots of different cups, Corals, clubs... Y'know...Mushroom...
YEAH, GO AHEAD AND RUB IT IN! Herman ... From: Hugh and Sandi Smith To: BAMS Sent: Sunday, March 02, 2008 9:03 PM Subject: [BAMS] Fort Bragg Just returned from...
in some states you can get everclear in 190 proof. Everclear is a brand of grain alcohol (ethanol), available at concentrations of 95% alcohol (190 proof) and...
Hi Gang, Well, looks to be a fine spring mushroom season. All of those breathless reports about chanterelle abundance were not exaggerations. David and I...
Debbie, your jelly belly photo made me wonder if I made an oops in identifying what I thought was a couple very young Yellow Foots (feet?). It seemed like ...
This isn't startling news, as anyone who has visited Point Reyes has seen evidence of dead trees in the tanoak forests, but it is worrisome to see how much the...
Hello, First post here. I went to Soquel Demo Forest last Sunday for the first time just to check it out. At the bulletin board by the entrance, there is a...
 Yes, A permit is required and can be obtained from the rangers station on Old San Jose Road. It is free and good for the season. BTW trumpets are up in SDF...
Wow, very jealous! :) My wife and I were walk on the Hihn's Mill Road (from the East end entrance) and were checking both sides of the trail. Nothing. We must...
As a new "shroomer" myself. I find the goods are usually farther away from the trail. Look for the trees that harbor the mushrooms. Chantrelles under Oak ...
In SDF the typical habitat is Tan Oak for the trumpets. There are lots of areas that produce up there and it really is about getting out there and training you...
Are you saying that you've seen Yellow Feet in SDF or are you just talking in general? I've never seen them south of Sonoma county. I've seen Hedgehogs in Big...
We had a delightful surprise this week in our sunny kitchen window. David was starting pumpkin seeds in an egg carton. A few days ago, I noticed peculiar lumps...
Which raises the question why -- one Oregon study found their Craterellus neotubaeformis to be almost exclusively mycorhizal with Tsuga heterophylla and rarely...
Blush. Thanks for all the positive press as well as all the great contributions to MO from various BAMS folk! I hope some of you can make it at my MSSF talk....
Don't you worry Debbie, in Europe they're all Entoloma -- a practice that I vigorously dislike as to me Nolanea is amply deserving to be promoted to a Genus...
Ok, another discussion starter... What is a good way to calibrate the length measurements of a scope? The microns/div. of the reticule at each mag.? I looked...
... Ok, just as a summary for what I found here: Ethyl alcohol - 70% denatured (with acetone and ketone and other stuff): ~$2 for 1/2 liter at pharmacies. Or ...
The answer is NEVER. If you have to calibrate then you're screwed. You should know what you're getting ahead of time, rather than having to determine it later....
I believe NAMA has one that they loan out, if you happen to be a member. Or check with Dennis D at SFSU or Tom Bruns at UCB about a loaner. Now Rod will...

Doug, a search for "dropper bottles" on Yahoo generates several hundred responses from shops eager to sell you every conceivable plastic contraption for that...
This has been quite a year so far. I'm sure many of you come across strange things out in the field while hunting mushrooms. I'd be interested in hearing about...
You might not like Entoloma for all of them, but latest word through the grapevine is that a new phylogeny shows that they don't fall out nicely into Entoloma...

Yes, yes, yes, but - That mean's I'll be trusting that the reticle was either made correctly, or that it works as promised. I just want to do some sort of...
Were it not for the 'other' stuff, looking for mushrooms would certainly be a diminished and straight forward affair. I live in an area where cultivation is a...
