Time To Start Posting Again!

Was wandering in the woods this morning and found these 'shrooms. Pretty leathal looking aren't they? Bright yellow and really slimy ... of course I took the photo with my little camera phone so it's a bit hard to tell here.

I'm doing a spore print now and will let you know what I think they are later this weekend.

Check out this site for some great photos of mushrooms found in California: Mendocino Coast Botanical Garden

Or this site: David Fischer's American Mushrooms

I started thinking about mushrooms this Summer when I spent a week in Vermont with a good friend. She and I did a lot of hiking and foraging and since she's a member of the NY Mycological Association she knew what we could and couldn't eat. Our first day out we found oyster mushrooms. I didn't have a camera with me but the photos here (just Googled "Oyster Mushrooms") really represent the environment we were hiking through.

Aren't they beautiful?
