We traveled through Idaho City and part way down the New Centerville Road. We had over 10 people turn out. We found the following mushrooms: Heterotexus alpina, Neohygrophorus angelesianus, Fomitopsis pinicola, Clitocybe glacialis, Tyromyces leucospongia, Mucena overholtzii, Mycena purpureofusca, possibly Gyromitra leucozanthor, Descina perlata, Calvatia fumosa, Gloephyllum sepiarium, Cortinarius cinnanmoneus, a Galarina species which paracitizes moss, and a slime mold that Mike Cooper called "Dog Vomit". Shown below!
We were snowed on briefly 2 or 3 times. The only edible found was Gyromitra montana (gigas). Since this is a false morel and may cause problems, and a lot of people do eat this "brain mushroom", Bob and I recommend not eating it.
And a good time was had by all!Genny Steiner, Bob Chehey, Foray Leaders
