A nice assortment of mushrooms there!

I love the colors of B. mirabilis. So beautiful.

I think that's Boletus zelleri. Also a fantastic mushroom. But indeed mirabilis is one of my favorites. Tasty too. Sort of creamy and lemony at the same time. I rarely eat it though because the specimens I find are usually too mature. B. zelleri is also edible, but bland and a little slimy IMHE.

The pictures don't show but I did find Zeller's Bolete and Admirable Bolete in the same hunt. Took it to the Puget Sound Mycological Society ID session and was confirmed. Both were too ripe/slimy to eat which is a shame because they were all bug free!

Well I would try them if you get the chance. I was uber impressed with one collection of mirabilis I sampled. I haven't been able to find another as good but any ones favorite is just a tasting away! For example... Macrolepiota olivieri is, perhaps, my favorite mushroom. I don't see a lot of people backing that play. My point is that you should try anything that seems worth trying because you never know when you'll find true love! And food can be an important element to the level of happiness in your life!!! As the Italians say: "Live to eat." As in don't just eat to live. Short of sex and friendship, food has brought me more happiness than anything else. And wild mushrooms have been involved on numerous occasions!

Shaggy Parasol? Where do you find those in the PNW? And you're on an island… Mercer Island or the San Juans? Am I close?

Well let's be clear... "shaggy parasols" are pretty common in the PNW but the "parasol" mushroom is pretty much on the east coast. Though I have spoken to a mycophagist that claims to have found Macrolepiota procera on this island. I doubt it though. But if you're in the PNW and you can't find shaggy parasols (chlorophyllum species other than molybdites) then you're not looking in the right places! Lot's to be had and delicious!
Shaggy parasols are the "other" lepiotas. Now classified in Chlorophyllum. Lepiota as it applies to larger species has been changed to Macrolepiota and the species procera (the most desirable and actually cultivated in Europe) simply isn't growing on the west coast of north America as yet.

It was probably growing on old Hemlock logs, right?
