Went and checked my Chanterelle spot today since they seem to be popping up. Only one chanterelle, nice and mature. Plenty of Death Caps though.
Cantharellus californicus:

Amanita phalloides


Omphalotus olivascens:


Also found Boletus Dryophilus, and an antler, followed by a deer skull with full antlers.

yeah for sure. The smell of chanterelle is permeating my house. It was a bad year for chanterelles, this makes up for it a bit.
I went and checked some other Oak spots, spots that I know have a bunch of death caps, and there wasn't anything.
There was a bit of rain though, and it is supposed to rain tomorrow, so hopefully this will push some mycelium to start fruiting. I miss the taste of edulis!

I have heard that the Walnut Creek/Mt. Diablo area is a good place to go a huntin' in the East Bay, which I happen to live close to. Can some one confirm this?

Yeah man but the area that active mushrooms cover in PNW is far more massive than our cute little bay area.
Eitherway, I will be out there this wednesday, that storm was freakin' awesome.
Hey Civ! Hey auweia!
I'm back to hunting, gonna start biking around again, seeing what turns up. Had a little bit of luck 3 seasons ago, this one looks like it could be pretty promising.
edit: also, Alan, beautiful friscosas =^D

Wow Alan. The amazing photos keep on rolling in... Nice cultures too!
I had some great success today around the yard. Some nice Cantharellus californicus, nice and mature, have got a few pounds over the last few days.
Panaeolus antillarum is popping up with some nice flushes, moreso than the waterings over summer.
Saw some more Amanita phalloides, and some more Russula that was huge from the rain.
There was a nice mushrump right next to the chanterelles, and underneath I believe was a Boletus aereus. Way too old to tell. The cap was similar in size and color to edulis, the underside was completely decomposed. The stem was nice and firm still, and did not stain blue with cutting.
I was able to cut the base which was starting to grow fresh mycelium. The butt went into some of the Oaklings I dug up recently, along with some chanterelle butts. My plan is to beat 8 years fruiting time by starting with younger oaks in containers rather than old oaks in the ground.
