Hey James, Thanks for your efforts on our behalf! Great to see your successes, and nice to have a chronicle of before and after shots in situ...so helpful to...
In today's SF Chronicle, trippy results from a Johns Hopkins University study on long-term benefits of a one time ingestion of psilocybin in a lab setting. ...
Well now I would never want to say that there is a silver lining in the smoke filled clouds of the more than 1,200 fires that have burned thousands of homes...
Thanks to all for a little perspective on our recent and current CA fires. I still think that too much of our forest is burning, and I feel for both the ...
I love your favorite indicator species, James. Thanks for the set of photos. Wish I could have been there. If only I didn't have my priorities screwed up. ...
Hi Debbie, still it is very important to consider that the ecology of many California tree species, mainly conifers is evolutionary connected to these fires....
Fire may be a part of nature, but to have a dry thunderstorm so early in a dry year is not normal. In fact, this series of fires has been called unprecedented...
All true, but the natural occurrence of cleansing fires go well beyond recording the advent of human settlement and what we consider "normal" is so only within...
Yes, and thanks for the album instead of attachments. The photos are great and I sure wish I was in that part of the world to load up on boletes. tc...
Fires are tragic but many trees depend on them in order to stimulate seeds to sprout and grow. Morels are one of the first fungi on the scene to help repair...
I am not any expert, but I understood that the morels were already in residence and it is the fire that spawns the flushes. Theories abound; the morels "see"...
Tom, Â Â Â Â You taking what I said out of context. I never stated that I believed that Morels are " colonizing damaged forests". What I said was that they...
This work was presented in one of the most excrutiatingly boring powerpoint presentations I have ever experienced in my life at last year's Telluride Mushroom...
Morels appear to me to be an opportunistic fungus, very widely distributed in conidial spore packs, ready to feast upon sugars which sink down the usual...
I'm sure the Colorado Mountain MykoBlitz Highs will be superior to the Telluride varieties. Their papery Chanterelle form is the tastiest and most perfumed...
Thank you for your amusing first hand impressions, Hugh. Interesting that they would bring this study to Telluride, rather than, say, some sort of Professional...
Just returned from a 2 week retirement/family trip to Germany and France. Saw fresh bavarian Boletes for12$/lb and fesh chanaterelles ("pfefferling") for about...
That there were no firefighters to put out the huge and sprawling wildfires of yesteryear (that contained the potential to completely dwarf what is considered...
... _/My interpretation/_ (assumption) of these sentences is that morels are one of the first fungi to colonize these burnt areas. As the morel fruiting...
Michael Kuo's recent book, "Morels", is a pretty good souce of different information on this subject. And it can be fun reading, too. Herman ... From: Tom...
Found a bunch of fungi that outwardly looked like large Pig's Ears, about 8-10 inches, but were soft and had the most god awful smell. Smelled like rotten...

That's because the dogs didn't think it smelled like seafood at all. I want to smell it! Can you send me a scratch 'n' sniff? Where are the photos? Phalluscybe...
