Hi Gang, While cruising the marvels of mountainous Colorado last month, I noticed patches of snow with unusual reddish coloration at the higher elevations....
Sounds like you need to go back in 1 - 2 weeks. Maybe three. I don't think boletes grow with douglas fir. Are you sure they weren't white fir? Rex-veris...

Interestingly enough, snowmelt was pretty slow for us this year. I was sure I'd be picking my marzlous and gyro's a lot earlier for the very reasons cited in...
thanks for that local perspective John-Marc...obviously lots of variables at play, and it's hard to predict how it will all end up, fungus-wise... and that...
Alan, You could be right, but I didn't see any of those weirdo fir cones ... not that I was really looking, as I was really looking for mushrooms in the mixed...
Hi Amy, I once asked an ex-forest ranger an easy way for me to ID the different "firs" in our forest near Greenville, without looking for the cones, and that...
I meant to add that "if the inside of the bark is...." ... From: Herman Brown To: BayAreaMushrooms@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, July 01, 2009 4:30 PM ...
Nothing in this study refutes the well known presence of pink snow at high elevations. Colored dust on snow is just another, perhaps growing, phenomenon. Last...
The Angora burn was a bust yesterday, very dry most places, even near the creeks, no dried morels - a couple of the moister pits had /Peziza/, and a few other...
The general rule of thumb is to not eat those puffballs once they start showing any color other than pure white. The beautiful and delicious sculpta has a...
You are correct Larry, but I wasn't saying that one eliminated the other. The brown-red snow that I observed in CO was not the same as the bright red,...
Hello All, It's been raining like crazy up here in SD. I am stuck without an ID book here in Custer, S. Dakota (about 1/2 hr fr. Mt Rushmore). No mushroom...
The first is a Clitocybe -- I'd say Clitocybe squamulosa. The odor may mean that it is something else. The second is a Hebeloma sp. An interesting one, no...
Thanks, Dimitar! Unknown2 had "poison pie" written all over it but I wasn't sure. It does have a faint radish smell; def. not mushroomy. Unknown1 - thought...
Well Larry, I have heard differing reports on their palatability. I am not gonna try this one for myself either, since I have some bad olfactory associations...
In our area near Greenville, it can be scattered all over with doug fir cones, which I recognize by the brackets, but there are several other species around...
Herman, once upon a time you were telling me about a ranger who could recognize the conifers by their bark. I was very impressed at the time. Now I am less so....
ah but Dimi some of us can't see the trees for the forest! ;) I actually love the idea of inner bark color corresponding to tree names; any help towards my...
... Larry, I missed part of this thread. Do you mean P. impudicus is edible in the egg stage?! INtersting. Ok, just was wondering. I hope I have it right. ...
At list not intact. You often will find piles of disarticulated fir cone scales where squirrels have been eating the seeds. Later they become a common...

A Phallus egg dish was served at a NAMA mushroom tasting a few years ago. There was no vile odor and some people seemed to enjoy them, though I was not...
Just back from a trip around the OR border. Morels, porcini and butters can still be hunted up in Klamath and Modoc NF. Many expired examples around the mid...
Eventually we all will probably learn to ID them by site, but any tips that help us to get started, are always helpful. Herman ... From: debbie viess To:...
it's a shame!!! I drove into Sea Ranch today, where the gift shop is, and found the planter areas were full of agaricus augustus, must have been 30 to 40...
Phallus impudicus do not grow here (generally). Lusurus mokusin, Phallus hadriani... maybe even some Clathrus ruber.Mmmmmmmm! Phalluscybe Hugh Smith ...
