That aroma… if you know, you know. Coming up now on the Oregon coast. Hat tip to @modernforager for the encouragement while at MONAMA Tricholoma murrillianum a.k.a. Western Matsutake #matsutake #tricholoma #oregoncoast #mycologymonday

Jelly hog (Pseudohydnum gelatinosum) city at Salt Point SP yesterday. #pseudohydnumgelatinosum #hogwild

The Winter Trio: yellowfoot (Craterellus tubaeformis sens. CA), hedgehog (Hydnum umbilicatum), and black trumpet (Craterellus calicornucopioides). In Sonoma they grow in the same habitat around the same time of year. Each has a compelling, complex aroma. For me the black trumpets are sweet and earthy, very similar to sake, and the hedgehogs are closer to gouda. Can’t wait to cook with these 🤤 Collected at Salt Point State Park. #cantharellus #hydnum #wintertrio

Found this Cortinarius section Leprocybe early this morning in the East Bay Hills. Under 365 nm UV light, it fluoresces rainbow. Dehydrating a sample now for barcoding at Super Good Labs. #cortinarius #dermocybe #uvfluorescent #sfpride🌈

🪵 rotters (#1 & #3 ) or 💩 lovers (#2 )? Happy fungiween! #damnnatureyouscary

My first COTW cried out from the road as I drove by, demanding that I elevate it into buffalo chicken of the woods #chickenofinstagram #roadsideattraction
