October Sierra Finds
    #19034966 - 10/26/13 10:27 AM (10 years, 3 months ago)

Even though October has been fairly dry, but enough little rain to get some species to consider fruiting.

The last time it rained here was in the first week of the month, so I headed up to my local stretch of the PCT near Echo Summit. It was snowing lightly for most of the day.

Ganoderma Tsugae, fruiting here on Abies Magnifica and it also is common on Tsuga mertensiana of course





Some fall scenery

A bit more recent pics from the mid montane forest in the El Dorado National Forest

Some older Scaly Chanterelle
Gomphus Floccosus



Fomitopsis cajanderi



Still trying to figure this one out




Most recently I got to head down to Big Trees and meet up with Ran-d and his lady friend for some hunting in cool giant sequoia groves. It was a perfect day out and Ran-d knows his stuff, a great time overall even though it is a little dry. I'm sure his pics are much better, but here is preview of some of what we saw.

Ganoderma applanatum





Lentinellus montanus





Big hollow tree with creek in the middle



Two old growth sequoia side by side

As well as that Fomitopsis. :thumbup:

Consider Flammulina for your unknown.

Nice pics!

They could be flawless if you control the light a bit more.  Mushroom pics generally do not look good in direct sun, have a friend stand to put the mushroom in a shadow, or better yet get a white photography umbrella that you can stake into the ground nearby.  A little reflector would help with illumination a lot, you can use a bit of cardboard with tinfoil taped to it.  The flash shadows are a bit harsh, you could get a cheap flash diffuser but its generally better to use natural light and reflectors instead of flash.  Turn the flash down to -2 or -3, so it fills in the shadows a bit and accents the colors, but does not cast a visible shadow.

The lighter colored scaly chanterelle from the sierras has been described as Gomphus bonarii.  DNA analysis showed that it is not different from G. floccosus, but it is definitely not as orange as the coastal variety, so I consider it a valid taxon some days.

Half of the stuff you found I have never seen before, the sierras fruit different stuff in the fall.  Be on the lookout for fall boletes, there are a few very rare taxa that only show up in the fall.  If you find them, make sure to dry and save them.

I was actually considering that, I've only found them in spring before on aspen but these on a red fir log.

This is handy info that I will definitely use.

I thought they looked pretty different from pics of G. floccosus, but it is was the closest thing. They should be distinguished with some type of difference in name cause they certainly aren't identical.

I am getting a bigger tackle box for this year so I can save plenty this year. You gotta believe I am on the lookout for boletes constantly. Fall boletes can be hit and miss around here as some of the best hunting spots get stopped by freezing temps . The only reliable fall boletes are in the Tahoe basin/crystal basin from late august and early September. Theirs has a bolete he found in aspen grove at grass lake here in El dorado county that I have been keeping an eye out for as there has only been one collection described as far as I could find, that species is Leccinum californicum.

When I come down the MSSF in December I'll make sure to bring down a lot of mushrooms to share.

Appears as though you disagree with the synonymy, so you should apply the name Gomphus bonarii.  Anyone can synonymize species, but it does not stick unless most people use the suggested name.

There is still room for volunteers at the psychoactive mushroom table if you would enjoy teaching the public about actives.

Definitely bring a bunch of stuff down from the mountains, you will probably have the only collection of a lot of things.  I will show up at 2pm Saturday to do the sorting and I recommend you show up at this time as well, as that is when all the real ID work gets done.
