Last Trip of the Year? Maybe


Hopefully Reta will edit this post and add some of her pictures and comments.

Okay, Okay. Give us a break. We were not finding many mushrooms, it was cold and well, we got to playing with color. Between snow showers the sun bursts lit up the colors spectacularly. Just fun to be out in nature all her glory.








Sometimes we are looking up. Haha. How about some hackberries? Edible, but not particularly tasty and mostly seed.







I think this is , Hygrophorus bakerensis, but Reta doesn't think so. She is usually right. Could this be a Clitocybe? The cap is viscus







We think this is Gomphus fluccosus





Reta and I venture forth into the wilds of Mann Cr. drainage north of Weiser. The last trip of the year was very much like the first trip of the year--found few mushrooms, snow and sunshine. Notice the snow on the hood of the pickup. The laughing is because this was about the fourth time trying to master the timer. Wow! it finally worked.

  1. Great pictures....we haven't found much here in Cambridge yet either. No oysters, no meadow mushrooms. I can't believe it is almost over..I think it might be time for a coast run. The chanterelles are in there!
