Of course, mycological life is never as simple as that. It turns out that what we have here in California, and what has been called A. praeclaresquamosus, is...

Is "morel season" as exciting for you in the West as it is for us here in the Midwest? Probably a stupid question. It's a ritual out here. It's a movement. A...
Ok, after the discussions with Rodham last week about measuring spore size, I had some ideas about how to sample many spores for ave size at one time. One of...
... I'm thinking...NOT, at least within our amateur group! Damn Dude, you are amazing! You lost me on the math, but I admire your pluck, and willingness to...
I don't know why all of you are so excited about Morels. I have 30 Clathrus ruber in my yard here in Yuba City! Many have hatched already. This is awesome! ...
In recent years, there has been much said about the role of salvage operations after forest fires on mushroom lists. A long term study has determined that...
Yeah, this is taking a little more work, but I thought the proof of concept photos might interest people. But the scattering off spheres is well understood, so...
Douglas, Once you've gone through the rough and ready and refined your process, you could try a hyaline, colorless, thin-walled, subspherical spore. One of the...

Just wanted to mention that I did see Amanita velosa in the San Diego area last week. It was in a Live Oak grove in Rancho Bernardo/Poway (the suburbs to the...
Hi, don't ever think you are not allergic to poison oak! I always thought so too. I forayed in the San Diego area on March 4th. My mushroom club San Diego...
Hi Dimitar: Wait a minute. Are you *sure* you saw "A. phalloides" in Rancho Bernardo/Poway? There are reliable reports of A. phalloides fruiting (with some...
Hi Steven, here is the picture of the "abundant" Amanitas -- the picture is not perfect, but to me this is A. phalloides. The older sporocarps also smelled...

Based on your photo, Dimi, I would also have to say that it was ocreata that you saw. A white amanita with a bulbous base, and a saccate volva, often tan in...
