Tuber g. On tree farms , I got to look more into farms tomorrow though. I will call around a few places and ask if i may trespass.
What are the seasons on the other three? Candy caps sound tastey, maple syrup like peeked my interest.
Nats ay this is the first time i heard of this.
Lets go hunting!

The North American Truffling Society... Links below... based in Corvallis, Or. They have public forays starting in november. They usually quit by now, i think....
Candy Caps are a monster. Kinda need hands on. I figured them out by harvesting different small reddish lactarius mushrooms repeatedly. Drying the collections seperately allowed me to smell the candy caps and narrow it down to two...the rest is remembering which ones are which in the field... 1.
 2.
 3.
 4.
 5.

I uploaded my limit. Missed a couple of pics. The little glistening cap is the NON-rubidus. Not sure which species it is, however, it is acrid as hell, and it's latex is white. Possibly lucculentus or subviscidus. The Lactarius rubidus in my photos are the ones with the subtle texture on the cap surface rather than the viscid glutinous slime. In the season it is usually wet out, and rubbing the tips of ones finger across the cap back and forth sort of feels like a cat's tongue. The non-candies are slick. Taste the latex just at the tip of your tongue and spit it out. You'll know soon enough whether it's acrid or not. Now this is in 3rd growth Douglas-fir farms, same habitat as truffles, but not the same areas. For the Candy caps you'll want to look in the areas where lots of debris was left behind from logging operations. The mounds of well-decayed chips and logs that are too far gone to even support Yellowfeet are what I'm talking about. They are coming out of the moss that covers debris of this age. The look-alike i describe is not the only one, it's just the only one in the habitats I have found candy caps in... in the coast range of central/south central oregon... Other subtle differences between the CC and the Look-alike involve the inrolled margin of rubidus at maturity. It is quite subtle, it's certainly not incurled or anything, but it dosn't go as planar as the look-alike. The CC has a slimmer stem, that is usually somewhat darker in color and more uniform from bas to cap... I have often found them in forests with the DF and young Oregon Oaks.
Matsutake is another thing entirely... another twenty posts.

I party every weekend in Corvalis. Im new to this whole logging thing. Most interesting driving into the coastel range. Putting it in 4 wheel, then crawling for miles threw the woods threw clear cuts and heavy forest. Definetly a myco friendly area.
My frind works for that guy Jack Szernecki, So every time i see him we talk about morchella and truffles, and candy caps.
Its now time for me to pick up the phone book, looking for douglas fir tree farms.

People should look around! I bet the North West isnt the only area containing these mushrooms.

I take it your hunt was not so productive?
i was hoping for at least some pics of yellowfeet or chanties or something.
You know you could still find Sparassis this late in the season in oregon... So no candy caps, no hedgehogs, no truffles? update

If I have found any of these, it hasn't been recently... I seem to remember seeing something that looked similar to one before, back when I was first starting out. 
I don't usually set out with them in mind, so perhaps I have over looked them in the past. I've been to many different parts of the country hunting..

yodel! i could always use a new hunting buddy...
-------------------- Under his instruction, I taped drumsticks to his head and turned him into a sort of mummy, or perhaps a caterpiller in a cocoon. He remains this way for about three hours, making bizarre noises, pretending to be a new species that must learn to walk and talk and eat, etc. And he communicates with other life forms by way of the antennae on his head. Eventually we jam a tube from a waterbong into it's mouth and figure he's learned all he needs to know.

lookin for truffles huh? well i live in eugene oregon. fairly seasoned with the truffles. if you look right now under relatively young douglas fir between 6' to 8' apart. you might find leucangium "picoa" species or tuber gibbosum. theres plenty of planted forest out there with the proper spacing. good luck, also look out for morchella species while out. asci
