On Saturday, Cecelia and I took out a young family from Nevada, to some areas around 4400 to 4500 ft, to see if any morels were still out and to see if more...
Howdy, I'll make this short as there will be a more detailed report made by some body who got some rest. Shasta is still flowing with Morels, I got about 13...
This weekend I went out and got some porcini's. After I have tasted them it seems to me like they lack some of the flavor and aroma when you compare them to...
Hi Lev, You are not the only one to think so. Our "Spring King" is a very different animal, or member of the royal family, if you will. Although quite a...
Hello Debbie, When you say red cap boletes are you talking about butter boletes? I've never acctually had them or even seen them, but it's my understading that...
Yup, butter boletes. Red caps and BRIGHT yellow stipes and context (inner flesh) and pore surface; and you are correct again, they do stain blue, most rapidly....
For poisonous Boletes, it's important to note the color of the pores. Most poisonous/non edible Boletes have either red or orange pores whereas most edibles...
Lastly when does the season end for the spring kings? ~~~~~+ In Shasta, they keep going in the high elevation up til Mid July, depending on weather paterns....
The texture of the Spring King is something that can be quite useful when creating dishes. One of my favorite ways to use it is in a Lasagna. Use any kind of...
The forested areas around McCloud, in the shadow of Mt. Shasta, are a common hunting ground for our foray host James Edmonds, but it was my first time ...
Hi... I have to go to Truckee in a couple of weeks, (actually the weekend of 6/21 - 6/22). Can anyone suggest any areas that may be worthy of exploring?...
Wrote this in a daze Sunday night (it wasn't just James who was wiped out by our trip!), and am finally sending it today. Take the lead paragraph with a grain ...
Yup, but it might still be a bit early for that high elevation. Or not. Drive up towards Yuba Pass along Hwy. 89 North; the pines along the road have produced...
Thanks for writing Debbie. I have hunted in Shasta several times. Matsutakes are in September too. I would have loved to have been there, if only I could. But...
The edibility of the all-yellow Boletus orovillus is listed as unknown, and it can eventually get reddish pores. I had tried eating one myself without any...
Also, Boletus orovillus is one of the rare woodrotting boletes; the only time that I've seen it, it was growing on (and heating!) wood chips along Grizzly Peak...
Sorry to jump in here for Debbie, but I have his email address at least: maxfun@.... I suspect you can get the rest when you contact him. Phil Carpenter...
Dear Debbie, many thanks for the acknowledgement! It means a lot. Actually, step by step, collection after collection, I am gaining a degree of confidence with...
Wayne Cameran and I went up to the Moonlight fire this past weekend.We found a few morels along Smith creek off Diamond Mt.road at elevation of 5300 feet. We...
Excellant! A fine, in the nick of time save for that great "potential" morel habitat. In the mushroom world, timing is all! Glad to hear that you hit it right...
Due to my second hard disc trashing in 5 months (!!), I have email prior to 5/26/08. I am searching for some images that people sent me. In particular, I'm...

Did someone answer this? The "look-a-like" for this case will be the B. calopus (var. fructosus), but this one has a brown cap, not red, and has red patches...
