Mushroom Mania 2016 * 7
    #23870937 - 11/27/16 12:43 AM (7 years, 2 months ago)

Been a busy year for me, not nearly as much time to hunt as I would like.  That being said, I did manage to get out yesterday and spend the day doing what I love most.  It is still a bit early here around Napa/Sonoma for our real good edibles.  But I did find a lot of neat stuff, and still managed to fill my belly with some tasty fungus.  :crazy2:

Since I know a lot of us like a bit of good myco-porn I snapped some photos to share!  I will keep updating this post as the season progresses with my best shots.


As of now, the hills are filled with Death Caps.  So many I cant count... This is pretty normal around here though, they are one of the first mushrooms to appear once the rain begins.

Amanita phalloides

 


Also a lot of Jack-o-Lanterns about.

Omphalotus olivascens

 

As for edibles, I bagged up on honey mushrooms and Laccaria.  Not the best... but not too bad.

Armillaria mellea



Laccaria laccata




On a whim, I decided to check my Morel spot from last year to see if anything was happening.  It is early, but they can be unpredictable.  I'm glad I did~

Morchella rufobrunnea

   


I found some other cool stuff too -

Boletus erythropus

   

Mycena haematopus

 

Some cool Panaeolus species.

 

Polyporus leptocephalus



Some dangerous looking Conocybe...



These goopy Cortinarius are always a kick.

 

I also found the biggest Oak bolete (Xerocomellus) I have ever seen! 

 

Sadly, I failed to find any Candy Caps in my regular areas.  There were plenty of our local inedible look-alikes though...

Lactarius xanthogalactus



And last, but certainly not least - Some local Psilocybe allenii

 

Things should start picking up here in another month.. I can't wait for my first local Chanterelle of the year.  It is still fun to get out regardless. 

:mushdance:

Did you eat any of those Laccaria laccata? And if so, were they any good?

I'll have to keep an eye out for those next season.

I found bunches of the purple gilled laccaria this summer but wasn't really into the flavor. Too shroomy for me, but still a good texture and beautiful mushroom.

Yeah they are not bad.  Not a whole lot of flavor, but excellent consistency (since they are firm and rubbery).

I use Laccaria as a filler in soup when I've found not quite enough.  Works great and they'll absorb the flavor from the soup.

Yep all from the same day, but I must admit I know this area very well.  Been picking mushrooms of all types around here for several years. 

I started the day scouting around town for a few hours, then hit the hills for the rest of the afternoon.

On a good day on the coast it's possible to see over 100 species. Usually the problem is finding time to take pictures of them all.


Beautiful photos Lhun :super:

I'm on break for the holiday and went out to my favorite local hunting spot today.  I only had a few hours, but boy was it productive.  Our Napa Chanterelle are looking mighty fine.  I barely scratched the surface, only checking a couple of the patches I know about.  :grin:





They can be hard to spot, often you only see the "mushrump" in the duff.

   


There are some big ones out there too!  This early in the season I don't normally find them this large.  Certainly not for the last several years.


   


I also found a decent haul of my favorite edible Russula -  Russula cyanoxantha.





There are lots of blewits under the oaks as well.


Lepista nuda



I found a nice large "blusher" too - These guys are very tasty cooked up in some salt and butter.  :awesomenod:

Amanita novinupta

 


Candy-caps are having a decent year too -

Lactarius rubidus




Some other common finds in my area -

Helvella dryophila




Cortinarius sp.




Galerina marginata




And finally a small Hericium erinaceus.  I will be back for this guy in a week or two.  :cool:

They are great, a flavor that reminds me of almonds.  They stay crisp too, even after cooking them well.  More like water chestnut in consistency than traditional mushroom.  This is assuming you have a good fresh one (the stem should be firm, not spongy for best eating).  Give them a try next time you find one under your local oaks!
