  1. I was scouting in old growth woods consisting of aspens and multiple conifer sp.  This was in an upper flat drainage area.  Maples and large oaks seem to be about 1000-1500’ lower.

    After looking at your wiki reference, I believe you nailed it.  Also to note it was near a bunch of destroying angels ~25-50’

  2. I found a very pretty patch of Destroying Angels ‘Amanita ocreata’ near a beautiful young Woodland Agaricus ‘Agaricus silvicola’. These mushrooms were roughly 100’ apart. At this stage the agaricus gills are still white.  Not a mistake that I would likely make, but this could be one and done 😵

    The mushroom with some yellow coloring is the agaricus (although I have seen plenty that are white, see last pic).

  3. I stumbled on a patch of what I first thought were chanterelles.  There was a decent area, 40x40’ at least, that had little yellowish to brown somewhat conical mushrooms.  But they were quite tough and almost leathery.  They have a polypore/tooth looking pore surface.  I did not taste them because of the age/toughness.  Smelled earthy.  Seemed to grow from the earth, no pattern associated with wood.

  4. Less than 100 miles from my doorstep is the Lincoln National forest.  I have found oysters, edible Russila’s, Agaricus silvacola, many Boletus sp., blewit, morels (yet to find a patch, certain they are there), many LBMs, and many odd balls.  August to September is the best time to hunt.

  5. 8000ft apsen conifer forest.  No blue bruising noted.  Dry cap.  Going through the MD Boletaceae guide pg 489.  

    Another “bolete” was nearby ~50 ft. but had a light brown colored cap.  I should have taken a pic.

    Last photo shows non-blue bruising at the top of the cap.  I waited 1-2 minutes from the squish to photo.

  6. Hey folks.  I want to say hello and hope to continue my fungal education with your help.  There are almost no mushrooms here in El Paso, but the Lincoln National forest is about 1.5-2 hours away.  I have found and identified dozens of different mushrooms, a few of which were edible.  I use Paul stamets “growing gourmet and medicinal mushrooms”, David Arora’s Hip guide and “mushrooms demystified”, and the Audubon mushroom guide.

    Cheers
