Fall 09 mushrooms

Well tis the season for fall mushrooms again and things are starting to pop. many areas are doing well and a few areas are way to dry still.

Here are a few samples of some of the wild edibles i can find at my outdoor grocery store in the cascadia belt.

some matsutake mushrooms



an odd lobster mushroom where it parasited on its self in a double growth

lots of chicken of the woods mushrooms

09 06 09 fall NW porcini

bears head mushroom above and 40 fall king boletes below

headed up to mt adams for a mushroom foray, it was pouring rain all day and unsightly cold, snow level low for September 6th and at 4500 ft i was freezing.

any how, we hit T lake and got a few boletes, hiked around some trail and got a few more.
went to C lake and found 1,, headed for the rock collecting zone on clear creek and scored some jasper and agate.
