If that were true the mushrooms would be more radioactive than they were in previous years... which they are not. Not that I carry a geiger counter around with me, but if they were radioactive they couldn't export produce or mushrooms to other countries. I'm certain a thing like that is very heavily monitored.

you never know... butterfly effect and whatnot. I'd like to think They're fruiting in numbers like this because they're fortifying the land against the effects of Fukushima.

The article I read cited a 3% increase in the tuna cesium radionuclides over pre-Fukushima levels.
Most of the damage was done in the 1950s and 1960s, when orders of magnitude more radionuclide contamination was introduced to our oceans, and which has been there ever since.

3% is what I read too.
And that picture going around with the radiation map, that is not a NOAA picture. It just has their logo pasted onto it.

I'm guessing the fruit numbers are somehow tied to the typhoon that hit us. In Florida, my best cube hunting seasons were after hurricane landfalls.

I had already hauled more than 100lbs of chants weeks before the typhoon.

I mean, across habitats and substrates, this is just an incredible year for fungi.
Leaves me scratching my head. What do they know that we dont?
They know it's been raining since mid august and only stopped a week ago. All that rain and mildly warm weather gave them the boost they need. I wouldn't be surprised if last year's dismal season had something to do with it as well, like they were lying dormant and waiting to explode.
Found a new patch in Portland last night, biggest one yet 
Went on a quick hunt with some friends down from alaska and two minutes out of the truck BAM! Cyans everywhere.
I'll be headed out to Ft. Stevens today to do some poking about, I promised myself I would so I'm playing hookey and living it up
I'll let you guys know if anything is up.
Happy hunting my friends!

I am so excited for this season, cause so far its been really good. I even have spots i havent gotten to yet! I already made spore water so when i go hunting i can spread the love. I plan on spawning woodchips and mushroom ends to make my own patches in my backyard. I cant wait to hit a monster patch this year. I know i will this year. Happy hunting

Make sure you use the spore water within a day or 2 of when you make it, or else bacteria will eat all the spores.

Would it be possible to inhibit the onset of bacteria or at least their reproduction and consumption rate through refrigeration?

Sorry for the crap pics, my cam is down. Won't turn on, seems as if the return spring on the on button is fubar, lens won't come out. Could be I have a piece of nature in the lens mechanism where it doesn't belong. It's under warranty, I hope Fuji won't kick when I send it in.
Blewit, I'm pretty sure, and an unknown orange mushroom. Southern coastal oregon, on a slope with the usual doug fir, duff, etc. Suspect blewits smell nice, cap dry, solid feel, gills crowded & attached, flesh lavendar on the small one, cream on the maggot infested older one, spore print in progress, faint, wht/cream or maybe that's just condensation. LOL.
Found the skull next to a big ol' decomposed log and wanted to find the incisors but the damned dog wasn't havin' it. In my next life I'll get a dog who WILL go up the slope with me. I figure it's probably a coon, but maybe possum. Have young possum roadkill being disassembled by nature in one of the raised beds, will compare the teeth in that skull to this one... Interestingly, molars are close to human size, this animal definitely has had omnivorous teeth.



-------------------- "Shrub, 30-90 cm. Leaves 2.5-) 4-9 cm, sessile or amplexicaul, broadly ovate to ovate-oblong, obtuse or rounded to subapiculate or subacute, when crushed not smelling of goats." "The initial quake was a 6.6 but fairly shallow. I felt it as a prolonged up and down vibration followed by a jolt forward and then to the left, like square dancing."

??? Comparing to the domestic cat skulls I have - this doesn't have the top rear ridge of bone around they eye like they do... And the cat skulls have a separate two piece rear skull, this is all one. And it definitely has flat molars, as well as the missing canines. The kitty teeth are all sharp, not flat.
So... Don't think so. But thanks for playing! 
If it's nice tomorrow I'll take a bucket and a small spade and go excavate where I found the skull to see if I can recover the lower jaw or any teeth... I prefer to wire the lower jaw on, makes a much more attractive display.
When I get my good cam back maybe I'll make a pic with all of my skulls... Well, not ALL of them, the small ones.

Your unknown orange mushroom appears to be a Hyhrophoropsis.
