Thanksgiving weekend on the northern CA coast was a great one for mushroom diversity; we collected 'til the light failed, and waited impatiently for the next...
... I was glad to learn I'm in the category of "most." It was nice and beefy, like a porcini, though not as tasty to my palate. I wasn't sure if I should have...
there is always somebody who can't eat a popular edible...and if you are that one person, then all the assurances in all of the guidebooks are small...
Hello hugh and Sandi! How are you two doing these days? So good to hear from you again. I was actually thinking that I had made your "bad list" since you...
Um, not to put to fine a point on it, but I already am leading a Pt Reyes foray on December 5th: We'll meet at 10 AM (*not* 9 AM, as I've done on someprevious...
Some of your photos are awesome, Deb! In fact--and I hope you don't mind--I put the last one (the surf crashing against the rocks) on my desktop as my...
We are hunting Tomales Bay S.P., no conflict there. We should have plenty to gather at just that location. Mo' is better, eh? Definitely don't want to...
Yes, that is quite the set of photos from last weekend Debbie. There was a lot of diversity to be found. You are getting very good with that camera. ...
Thanks David, and no problem using that "big bad ocean" photo, although I wasn't kidding about the dangers...a tourist was lost in the wild waters off the...
Thanks Hugh, quite a compliment coming from you! It's a lot faster than drawing them... Can't wait to see YOUR photographic chronicle of our Mendocino weekend,...
Not so fast to utterly dismiss oak root fungus! A little over a month ago we ate some Armillariella mellea which we had collected from the stumps of unknown...

Those pink Mycena might be M. adonis? I didn't think those appeared this far south, but were a Pacific NW type of fungi. Need to check and see if there are...
We were also in Mendocino County last weekend , but at Jackson State Forest. It was very lush and we picked a couple of baskets full in the little time we had....
... M. acicula should have a red disc with a yellow margin? ... Ah, M. rosella, I'll look that one up, that sounds better than M. adonis. One I haven't seen...
Do you need a permit in the Jackson SF anymore? ... From: Steve Wattenberg To: BayAreaMushrooms@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, December 02, 2008 9:29 AM ...
Mycena adonis is a quite variable species if you accept broad species concepts. Sometimes quite pink, sometimes not very pink at all if you look at a number of...

Good question. Don't know but it was a holiday and the office was closed. Didn't see a single ranger. They were probably all on the coast watching those BAMS...
The midnight blue Leptonia is most likely Leptonia carnea http://mushroomobserver.org/6105?search_seq=210506 The Dermocybe looks like Cortinarius phoeniceus...
In 25 years of collecting in Jackson State (we are talking about hundreds of forays), I was only stopped once. And I had my permit with me. You can get...
The Dermocybe, indeed. The Russula, hard to say, could be other things as well. But Ryan, it is a mycological misdemeanor to speak the name of a Leptonia...
Hi Dimi, Thanks for the warning. I'm assuming you're not going to give me a ticket. Please excuse me. There are areas in which I am a novice. I've been...
Hi All, I got 5 good size kings on Sat the 29th in the east bay hills. No maggots! Pictures will follow although I got too excited and picked them before I got...
... Thank you Debbie, you win many points for enthusiasm!! One minor suggestion only -- usually we need several fruitbodies in order to have something to play...
I snagged a couple more fruit bodies of that yellow context Cort species at the Arora foray, tho not from the same field collection, alas. And sometimes, there...
