 went hunting the other day

I went on a hunt the other day with CptnGarden and his lady. we did not run into the bobcat, but we did find something just as elusive and special: Hericium erinaceus.
i forgot to bring my cam, but cptn got a few pics.
we had a good time of hunting, finding also Gymnopilus luteifolius, G. sapenius, Trametes versicolor in a splended array or colors, T. hirsuta or similar, a maze polypore and a few others.
cptn: please feel free to post your pictures.
i'm bicycling into town today, and i'll probably do some hunting near 1mile. i'll remember the camera this time.
--------------------
Along a path I walk this night, clear to no other eyes than mine.
In faerie circles perchance I might, hope Elven honey bread to find.
Over stream and tangled root I leap, o'er bough and slumbering badger's keep.
Under hoary oak and willow I bound, to find such groves as can be found,
the sating mushrooms; spring's delight, as gifts from figures of the night.

i hit up the first 5 miles of the park today. cycled about 40 miles total and i'm perfectly exhausted.
i only found 3 specimens of G. luteofolius there. none of my old gym areas where fruiting. no G. junonius to be found.
the giant honeys are fruiting down there.
ran across some over mature oysters and collected spawn.
the cam is not working again, i really need a new one of my own.

any time.
by the way, those Clitocybe gibba [white ones with the upturned caps] are everywhere around middle and lower park.
the redwood groves have no blewits yet, but the duff is still dry, and it'll take several more rains to get through the canopy and saturate the ground. i expect to be seeing them within two to four weeks.
there where a load more Trametes and those maze polypores. i saw one down oak colonized by Galerina marginata.
i also saw a few specimens of a honey i'm not used to seeing. they are large, and even more robust than the giant clustered form we usually see here, and grow more or less terrestrially, singly, etc and while they have a 'pinched' annular zone, the annulus is not really persistent.

thank you cactu. merry christmas to you and yours.
it's good to get back into hunting my old haunts. this area offers everything from candy caps and gyms to wild figs and bay laurel to ice cold melt-water swimming in the sweltering summer months.

Hericium are the best mushrooms I've found over the past few days. Sadly, the larger masses were starting to age so I left them. Enjoy yours!

this one was beginning to discolor, but still tastes great. what's left of my half has been sitting in the fridge for a couple days now after picking and it's still not gone sour.
also:
yay!
i was sent some money today for christmas, and i picked a used Canon PowerShot A530, 5.1mp digicam. i now have a working cam.

you bout ready for this next big hunt?
i found a Boletus Zelleri out back my house today, bruised blue a little bit, not rimose, greyish/black/dark purple cap, had a good salty-mushroom taste.
i didnt end up cooking it up though, despite it being in good condition (no bugs)
if we find some crazy amounts of porcini this week ima shit myself.
but i might be content enough trying some Zelleri if we end up finding a bunch.
also, my hericium is tearing up the cardboard, no contamns yet.
by the way, Evan is coming a long for sure, and were leaving to go hunting definitely before noon, we need at least 4 hours in.

nice, my herecium tissue cultures [also on cardboard, because i don't have my new petris yet and i'm out of jars] have only now started to grow vegetatively.
i'm planing to start some more P. oystreatus, since my wild spawn isn't doing anything yet, and i also picked up some buna-shimeji.
i'll have those culturing on cardboard untill i can do more agar work.
i'll be ready for the hunt tomorrow, and as always; the earlier the better. i'm stoked to go, as there's little new popping up around my place. if i see one more Nolanea in the orchard i'll go crazy.

by the way, i prepared some of the Hericium in my christmas gravy. chicken dripping gravy, lightly salted, seasoned with slow sauteed sweet onions and minced Hericium, thickened with wheat flour. it came out great.

i scored some recently cut -and as far as i can tell, not yet occupied- poplar logs today. i haven't actually drug them home yet, but they're sitting against a fence down the road. goodbye roadside waste, hello Hericium, Pleurotus and Hypsizygus food.
