Mt. Shasta - 6/3/08
    #8488474 - 06/05/08 01:50 PM (15 years, 9 months ago)

Porcini habitat - The flats between pilgrim creek and black fox mountain.  3400 - 3800 ft.



The first find of the trip - A large butter bolete (Boletus regius) in an open area near a western red cedar.









Amanita aprica, the most common mushroom out there by far.





Cortinarius verrucisporus





ID?





Douglas fir forest at higher elevation - Off of highway 49 at around 5200 ft.





This was just an inch away from the large morels









Tricholoma moseri



Nolanea verna var. isodiametrica



Up further in elevation, Hygrophorous subalpinus, near snow melt



Clitocybe glacialis is one of the most common mushrooms found near snow melt.  It fruits just at the place where the snow melts, usually within a few feet.

I don't know whether the bolete, the morels, or the scorpion is cooler. Great finds! Is that your wife in one of the photos?

Badass.  Wish I coulda joined you.  The Four Tet show I had tickets to see was canceled, so I was kicking myself.

That B. appendiculatus was damn well buried from the looks of it.  Did you eat it?  They're pretty good.

That cortinate veil on the C. magnivelatus is rad, I've never found that one myself.

Mmmmmm, morels!!  

That scorpion looks really pathetic, but cute.  Did you pet it?

How'd Margaret do on finding mushrooms? She find anything cool?  I don't think I've ever gone hunting with her, but those are some fatty morels she has.

Great stuff and habitat.

Those Tricholomas look to be in the group of species near T. myomyces. They're some of the hardest mushrooms I know of to tell apart.

Happy mushrooming!

I'm new to spring king hunting, but would like to test my luck this year. Any advice regarding habitat (trees, moisture needs, temperature, etc), elevation, and geography in CA would be awesome!
Cheers,
Oron

The second picture of Cortinarius magnivelatus is really awesome! What a spectacular site to go mushroom hunting.

Did the morels have a strong scent, it looks as though you and your cohort found them just in time.

Clitocybe albirhiza





Tom Volk identified these as Spongipellis sp.







Plectania nannfeldtii, a snowmelt ascomycete



This is the undescribed unknown snowmelt Pholiota that David Arora mentioned in Mushrooms Demystified.







Heterotextus alpinus



Hygrophorus subalpinus

I ate this one. Fried it in butter with salt and pepper until it was golden brown. Delicious!





Nivatogastrium nubigenum, a secotioid Pholiota is common in snowmelt areas.





Boletus regius.  I fried them over a camp stove with high heat for a few minutes, the taste was amazing.





ID?



Boletus pinophilus









Sarcodon sp.





Many of the mushrooms were found by checking under small shrumps



80% of the shrumps conceal Amanita aprica



But some do not, especially near western red cedar

The B. appendiculatus turned out to be B. regius due to the red color of the cap.  It was buried but the shrump was massive and right out in the open.  It could have been the most delicious thing I tasted that weekend.

The C. magnivelatus turned out to be C. verrucisporus due to the yellow color in the veil and cap.

2 lbs, looked for four hours.

These pics are only 640x480, they look great at higher resolution, those are  here.

Check this weekend in the shasta-trinity national forest northeast of mccloud.  All the boletes I found this time were not more than 20 feet from a western red cedar.  The boletes are fruiting at 3000-4000 feet right now.  Later in the season they will be at higher elevations.  We couldn't even get to medicine lake because the road was blocked with snow, but in six weeks they will be fruiting there if it rains.

I thought so at first, but the photos above seemed more consistent with the photos of C. magnivelatus, rather than the dingy brown C. verrucisporus.  But you saw 'em first hand, so I'll take your call.  :smile:

I don't think Medicine Lake will need rain if it is currently covered in snow.  The snow melt should be sufficient for a flush.  Not to say the rain won't help!  I remember we missed it by a week or so last year.  Looked like prime hunting grounds. 
Nice camp grounds if you go there during the week (when other people are absent).

Very cool.  Awesome pictures.  Thanks for sharing and the report.  This has been the coolest thing I've seen all day.

Grrreat finds Alan! I especially like the boletes, so weird to see them on these boards while we'll have to wait a few more months to get them around here!
