I have spent the past few days hunting mushrooms on the Oregon coast. Here are a few of my finds.
I am currently in Astoria, OR. I have a very nice Meiji microscope with me and I really need microscope slides and cover slips. Does anyone know where I can get some around here? Or have a few they can spare? Maybe I will try using some broken glass from the side of the road for a slide and piece cut from a plastic container for a cover slip.
From the Oregon Redwoods Trail, Siskiyou National Forest, Curry Co., Oregon.
Mucronella flava
http://mushroomobserver.org/obs/87352
On an Abies (fir) log, approximately 150 yards from the parking lot, 2 feet above the ground on the right. I transplanted some to a similar log on the left, maybe they will grow.
These are really small, only a couple millimeters long.
Hydnum umblicatum

Hmmm, I'm not close enough to help, but maybe you can bum some from the OSU Seafood Research & Education Center. I am sure they have some loose ones around.

I'm a good 2 hours away from you and I have slides and covers. I could meet you halfway tomorrow afternoon.

No, they were perfect. I am going to cook them soon.

I still need slides and cover slips, but now I am in Bridgeport.

Fantastic fun Alan, glad you made it to Oregon anyway.
The coast is beautiful in the fall and winter. Will you make it to Sand Lake Park?
