Just before I left for a road trip to MT I discovered a mushroom growing out of the side of one of my maple trees in Denver. The cap and stem are white with...

... Forgot to mention that on Lost Trail Pass I found what I believe to be matsutakes. They look like matsutakes and they smell like them but I've collected so...

I found V. bombycina in Lincoff, pg 677, today. Gills on my specimen were darker but maybe due to age. Tokk anther look at the sporeprint & could have been...
It has been dry down here, with few mushrooms. The last few days have seen an increase in thunderstorm activity and I have found several blooms of chantrelles...
We had great fun in Taos last weekend for the New Mexico Mycological Society's annual foray. Very dry but we did collect a bunch of specimens. One person...
Guanella Pass was never totally closed to access. From 285, you can get all the way up to the pass. The closed part is somewhere between Guanella Pass and...
Apparently there was a bill a few years ago in the Colorado State Senate designating Creede & Crested Butte as the wild mushroom co-capitals of Colorado. Does...
I think this group is especially well suited to finding and studying fungi that are obligatorily alpine in nature. Are there any known such species? I was...
We're going to have an alpine team at the rocky mountain mycoblitz in 2 weeks. I'd like to send you a little presser about the mycoblitz for consideration on...
Yes Rob, I would love to post something about the mycoblitz. Please do send something along the lines of press release. I would like to attend and contribute...
First off, I'm so excited to find this group because I've been wanting to learn about mushrooming! I'm hoping someone here is an expert and tell me what I've...
"I'm a total newbie and afraid of poisoning myself!" This is actually an instance where your fear is well founded... Even the total PHD experts have been known...
Rob, thank you so much! I'm 100% sure that's right -- I actually washed off the slime, thinking it was just mud from the garden. Funny that it's called a...
They're actually eatable when they are in the egg stage (if you can find them)! although they aren't great. It was the slime that you washed off that has the...
The New Mexico and Colorado mushroom clubs teamed up a few weeks ago to present Britt Bunyard (editor of FUNGI) a special present. Here's a great article from...

Yesterday's Missoulian contained an article about a bio-blitz that was recently held in Yellowstone National Park. Wouldn't it be fantastic to hold a mycoblitz...

The Glacier Institute will be holding its Fall Mushroom Foray in Big Creek, MT, September 19th and 20th, 2009. Larry Evans will be the instructor for the...
If you've never seen Larry Evans talk I highly encourage you to go. Not only is he funny but he is also really good at teaching beginners how to use a key....
Cool temperatures with the leaves changing colors spells honey mushrooms! I expect they should be up en masse in the next couple of weeks so keep your eyes...
I just emailed out the permit for the mycoblitz (a single permit that covers park entrance, camping, and collecting) to everyone who has said they will attend....
