A few photos from last couple of weeks.

John, are you certain the ones on the logs are Oysters? Another white stalkless mushroom that covers logs is Crepidotus applanatus. This type is brown-spored and the flesh is fairly fragile. Another type that mimics Oysters is "Angel Wings", Pleurocybella porrigens. This type is always pure white and favors coniferous wood. True Oysters grow on wood of deciduous trees. Although it was long considered edible, in Japan Angel Wings has been linked to a serious illness.

Those Berkeley's Polypores can grow to a monstrous size!

Thanks for sharing John. It's been ripe around here recently with all the rain. Did you harvest any of the polypore?

I'm hoping to get out Sat morning for some exploring. Did take short walk at lunch and found my first meadow mushrooms! Delicous!

if this large white-milk mushroom has mild-tasting flesh and brown-bruising gills, then L. volemus looks like a good possibility. There are some other bitter/acrid milkies that have abundant white milk. Also, some types have milk that starts white but eventually turns yellow. These types are toxic.

L. volemus has a fishy odor. The sticky white milk stains one's fingers brown. L. corrugis is very similar, but with a deeply wrinkled cap surface.

Hi coastwxx. I didn't harvest any of the mushrooms other than the chanterelle. There are mushrooms everywhere around here, but unfortunately I will not be able to do much exploring because of my schedule.

I finally found chanterelles at my main spot this past weekend. As soon as I stepped on the trail... mushrooms everywhere. Mostly bolates, but this one patch of evergreen had clusters of 2-3 chanterelles every 20 ft or so. Not huge, but enough for a meal. Now I need to improve ID of bolates.
