Chanterelle (Solstice +6)
Latest-in-the-year chanterelle mushroom we’ve found on the Coast. 2015 December 27. Joy to the world!
Chanterelles
Sweet chanties just keep on giving. Rain brings out these beauties to shine against the green forest background.
Amanita pantherina
These cutie-pie buttons popped up in springtime right near where their red sisters grow in fall. Lower Roberts Creek.
FalseMorels (Gyromitra infula)
False morels popping in cleared forest areas. Cool to look at, toxic unless really, really cooked. Lower Mount Elphie.
Hydnellum geogenium
Tricky one but McDowell is calling it. Not common, may be rare and she may be incorrect. Mid Mount Elphie.
