A few summer ones


Recommended Posts

Haven't been out in the woods for awhile as it has been dry and didn't expect to see to much today, so seeing these 2 for the first time this year was a bit refreshing plus a handful or 2 of chanterelles didn't hurt. Light rain is in the forecast for tomorrow and most of the next week so I'm expecting the Boletes and Craterellus to arrive in numbers along with some Russula. The first 2 photos which are not to clear are Boletus subglabripes which is our most common summer Bolete locally, photos 3 and 4 are Craterellus ignicolor and photo 5 some still good but quite dry chanties. Let the gentle rains begin please. :)

The Chanterelle were refreshed with a shower or 2 so on Friday the picking was good, plenty of tiny Craterellus 1/4 in size eager for more rain.

In conifers Lobsters can be seen from a good distance though the ones in poplar woods will often have little showing. I suspect many folks including myself have walk bye Lobsters suspecting it was orange marking tape in amongst leave litter. Here are a couple of photos to show this, the leaf buried mushrooms are each in the 1/2 lb range. Hope this is helpful if you have poplars in your area?

I found a bunch of lobsters this week in lichen. For the most part, all you would see is a bump with just a little hint of orange showing.

Last night it appeared the Chanterelle were finally slowing down, here we see one with a couple Hydnum umbilicatum (little hedgehogs) close by and the second photo is a nice group of Hydnum umbilicatum which I'd love to see a lot more of before summer ends.

Here lots of Lactarius and Cortinarius mushrooms are starting to appear and I must show you these Craterellus tubaeformis (winter chanterelle) as they took a nice photo today.

Since it's the last week of Summer I checked out my favorite Hedgehog mushroom spot after supper tonight and was pleased to see these large young mushrooms in excellent shape. I had to leave after 45 minutes of gathering as the basket and extra bag I brought along became to heavy to go any farther. Well yes I do sound quite full of it tonight don't I, hehe, usually the basket isn't so boastable

John S this location was a real surprise to me a few years back as it has some unusually mushrooms for my area which include large yellow corals and red tipped corals, green capped russulas and huge blonde hedgehogs and no chanterelles which is strange for a woods in this area which as moist mosses patches

Out for an hour tonight gathering a variety of wild mushrooms for a small workshop going on in my area this weekend, decided it wouldn't hurt to use 1 basket for some good edibles while I'm at it.
