Hedgehog-Hydnum repandum
McDowell is crazy for teeth. Balfour found the biggest hedgehog we’ve ever seen. Lower Roberts Creek.
Honeys (Armillaria)
Some pooh-pooh them. McDowell doesn’t drink much so she’s always onboard for a honey fest. Cliff Gilker.
Bristly (Pholiota squarrosa)
A sucker for crunchy toppings and shaggy hairdos, McDowell was overjoyed to find these. Mount Elphinstone.
Pine (Tricholoma magnivelare)
Balfour can smell them a mile away. McDowell can eat them! The prize of the forest. Lower Roberts Creek.
Brown Velvet (Boletus mirabilis)
Brown velvet cap, lemony-green sponge pores, sturdy reticulated stalks. Who wouldn’t fall in love? Mnt Elphinstone.
Pretty Fly (Amanita muscaria)
You don’t have to be Alice to adore Amanita muscaria. Soma, entheogen, rabbit holes, magical beauties. Creek.
