This toad shot came out pretty bad, but whatever. I don't know about you guys, but I'm beat up from the feet up. We covered a ton of ground today!

Here's a rough map of the loop we did. About 4 miles covered over some intense terrain. My dog is down for the count about now. The pointer is where we found those chickens.

good times! good times! i agree. i'm tarred! the dog got a bath, de-ticked (found about 20 all told) and then passed out, no passing go.
thanks for the tour 08u, freaking awesome place, and its nice to see things starting to pop just in general. we managed to spot a fair amount of the boring stuff too. and lunch was primo. thanks again
now we just have to get a few more peeps to show up - although i guess we didnt announce this one ahead of time did we

Sounded like a very fun time. The first time I hunted the bluffs was just before the park opened to the public. That's when I got my special collecting license. It basically says the holder may collect any plant, animal, fish, game, mushroom etc by any means necessary. We were doing the survey of the park and all species that occurred. I worked on the mushrooms there all weekend, back then I was chair of the fungi section of the PA biological survey. A few of the morels there seemed a little different so I sent them off for DNA. Just my luck the test did not produce results. We did find one rare species there. My best collecting for non edibles was going down the little creek.

a couple other things:
what did you say these were again o8u? i think they're groovy

likely a baby ganoderma - its a dead standing tree that sounds hollow if you bang on the side of it
likely Bolbitius titubans, we saw a bunch
just something odd i noticed
ganoderma growing from fallen hemlock log
a slime we kept finding on the big vines

Morchella elata is a European species. Morchella angusticeps is the best name I can come up with for it, but I think it may be an undescribed species.

Undescribed species is rare enough for me lol. Morchella angusticeps is the best name I can come up with for it, but I think it may be an undescribed species.
Thank you for that info o8u!

thanks for the comments! thats cool that there's maybe something undescribed right there, except that we keep eating it.
maybe we should send a piece off for DNA next time (i use 'we' loosely here, as it likely won't include 'me' in that)
nice try x - i don't think you're gonna get one of those licenses  i'm guessing thats like getting the "double Oh" rating for naturalists with the "by any means necessary" clause.
i can see you explaining why you were fishing with dynamite... and waving your license around in one hand and your net in the other "honnest! i'm allowed!

Made a midnight snack of some breaded and fried COTW along with a dipping sauce made from Rural's maple syrup, hoisin and a splash of fish sauce. The chickens were dope, but the sauce needs some tweaking. I used a bit too much hoisin and there's a missing secret ingredient I haven't figured out yet.

The chickens were dope, but the sauce needs some tweaking. I used a bit too much hoisin and there's a missing secret ingredient I haven't figured out yet.
i do a similar sauce try adding a little vinegar,seems to balance it out nicely.
