I'm not going to blather much..  Enjoy the photos.  :twirlyface:


Beautifully defined concentric rings, Amanita muscaria var. flavivolvata.



Candy Caps, Lactarius (rubidus?) growing lignicolous from fallen live oak stumps.








A nice cluster of "Cantharellus cibarius" or perhaps C. formosus.



Sarcoscypha coccinea.



Stropharia cyanea!!!!  Cool!!

Lactarius rubidus
One of the most desired dessert mushrooms, Candy Caps are renowned for their fragrance and sweet flavor. Dried samples smell strongly of maple syrup! A little bit goes a long way. Availability may be limited and seasonal.

Candy Caps, Lactarius rubidus, are among the most fragrant dried mushrooms available. Only found along the West Coast in the USA, these are scarce mushrooms in just about any kitchen. Use them in cookies, cakes, and other dessert recipes.

Now, when I say Candy Cap, what I really mean is what Mike Wood
recently explained in a Onelist email missive: “The true candy cap
(Lactarius rubidus, formerly Lacatarius fragilis var. rubidus) has a
look alike, Lactarius rufulus. Both grow in the same habitat and are
often collected together as `candy caps’. The flavor of L. rufulus is
very similar to L. rubidus, but it lacks the maple syrup aroma.”
It is important to dry C. Caps slowly and gently in order to maintain
their exquisite aroma. High heat will destroy the maple essence.
Special attention should be paid when collecting Candy Caps. There
are notable dangerous mistakes to be avoided, not the least of which
is the deadly Galerina autumnalis, which I have had occasion to ex-
tricate from beginner pothunters’ Candy Cap collections that I’ve
inspected! I strongly suggest one should memorize the key features
list on page 22 in David Arora’s All That The Rain Promises and More.
When I collect Candy Caps, I put away my knife, snap each stipe as
I take it, to ensure its brittleness, and create a leak from which the
unchanging watery-milk latex may exude.


Sample recipe:

Candy Cap Cookies

1 ¼ cup sugar
1 cup Shortening or margarine
2 eggs
¼ cup corn syrup
1 Tbl. Vanilla
3 cups flour
¾ tsp. Baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp. Salt
1/8 ounce of dried Candy Caps

Preheat oven to 375. Lightly grease cookie sheet. Cream together until fluffy sugar, shortening, eggs, vanilla and corn syrup. In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder, soda and salt. Blend well. Gradually add to creamed mixture until completely mixed. Crunch Candy Caps into small pieces and fold into mixture. Spoon onto cookie sheet or roll into balls and roll in sugar for additional sweetness.

“On Sunday, Mike Wood and I took a walk around Lake Chabot to
visit some of his favorite chanterelle spots — not a single chanterelle
to be seen! And no signs of picking either. It’s odd, considering how
many chanterelles I’ve seen in other locations. We did see a good
sampling of Hygrocybes, though, including flavescens, coccinea, and
an oddly tannish-red capped Hygrocybe we couldn’t put a name to.
We also found candy caps here and there, a log with the naturally
stinky Phyllotopsis nidulans growing on it (it looks like a peachy
oyster mushroom), another log with a few old oysters, and yet an-
other with a cluster of tiny Mycena haematopus that bleed red when
you pinch their stems. In one place we found a small fruiting of
Clavulina rugosa, a fungus that looks like it can’t make up its mind
whether it’s a coral mushroom or a club mushroom. It has very
simple branching at the tips and a very gnarly and dull white surface
– grotesquely beautiful.
“The ascomycetes were out as well, including what looked like bor-
ing brown cup fungi that turned out to be Helvella acetabula when
you turned it over. Acetabula is one of my favorite mushroom forms;
it looks a little like a goblet designed by the weird sci-fi illustrator H.
Geiger. It has “veins” that run up the outside and connect firmly to
the base and sides of the cup. We also found the bright scarlet cup
fungus Sarcoscypha coccinea and the less bright red eyelash fungus
Scutellinia scutellata (say it slow and it’s almost like praying).
“Nolanea stricta seems to be up and around, with its beautiful and
fragile conical cap. To me it looks like a beach umbrella that’s just
about ready to spread out. If you look closely at the stipe you’ll often see pink spores.

LoL.  That last link to BAMS message group I stumbled upon on Saturday.  I showed Peter the Candy Caps I found under some oak trees when we were hunting friday, and said "Dude!  they were growing lignicolous!  On fallen logs!"  and he was all "Oh, yeah, they do that."  Hahaha.

I told him about how I saw a photo on here of an A. muscaria growing from a fallen log, and how the mycelium must have grown up from the roots, through the soil, and then through this log, and fruited while still attached to the trees roots.

is really interest to note this mechanism of action is not well understood sometimes , they can be growing trough decaying wood, and only used as medium but clearly the mycelium is gaining some nutrient there, i mean as expert claim why they will need enzyme that can degrade wood , also long time i go i understand in mushrooms cultivation that when you try to grow micorrisic fungus something not so easy in a petri dish well they have a saprophytic stage, also the inoculation or formation of most ectomicorrizas begin as a parasite response to the mushrooms causing some damage and then developing a symbiotic relationship with the tree seem they can invert the process in some stages as in fruit body formation or pining , where spawn gathered and form knot and pins, well in this stages many micorrisic mushrooms developed a saprophytic stage well they feed on nutrients on soil for instance that happens in truffles but maybe in this stage they feed on lignocellullosic materials,
this is very interesting since many question can be formulated, how old is this happening? is this a evolutionary traits as how micorrisic or vice versa saprophyte mushrooms evolution?
or is something not so old and adaptation, since some years ago is was a rule that the habitat can rule out many species as wood lover and micorrisic, also i have seem some lepiotas that can be micorrisic sometimes in fact is been probe that many species of non true micorrisic species can go micorrisic sometimes example agaricus on grass, ,
well i guess in new guides of the future will be say also this species can be find on wood and in micorrisic fase,
you know when i was thinking and thinking

something hit me in the head, and idea is this some kind of thing that is happening more in USA, not so command in Mexico , then i remember i have see this few times, but still is more common over there , and i start to think well micorrisic mushrooms growing in those nice forest that are old close spaced, well all new seedling can´t grow big because there is to much shadow for the big trees so , my theory is ha ha , that , since your forest are so well keep no many tree die or loose in fires , only when a big tree die many other can born for all the factor more water,more sun, more space, etc, so this new seedling are the only ones that can form new micorrizal association , since this happens so slow in your area and for the temperature , thing are not as fast as here, mushrooms may opted to try wood instead of all the process of mycorrhiza that will be very futile since all they already have mycorrhiza and only the new grow Or new roots can developed new association , take in consideration those wood you where visiting are from ages of the history of the world where more animal gather there and in more bigger size i´m toking in Pleistocene age and so since those species have evolved since that age, well now the wood are regulated, fires are keep in control, the big herbivores that where before there are gone, , very interesting but i think i got i glimpse of light here, about what is happening . so this may be a mechanism the mushrooms are or always use in some stages , we don't understand all of mushroom sometimes is good to be passionate and dream after all.. all the new technology comes from there.......
