Evan Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 MMMM Crabs!!! Being from Baltimore I grew up with them. I picked some up last weekend to suprise my mother. It finally rained yesterday, a whole .2 inches that evaporated in minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zora Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 I am in Balt mon-weds so anytime you want to surprise me with $80 crabs, please do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zora Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Back on topic.....I did try the Amanita and it was kinda strong. Found a large fruiting of Gomphus floccosus (had a pic of the group but I am getting an error uploading) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyflyfsh Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Zora, if you were getting an error uploading then perhaps you went over your limit for one post. You could try the photo in another post and see if it will load. There is a max. per upload. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladyflyfsh Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Now that so many people are using such large files, they have changed the max. size on the board and it can't be changed for a per upload. All I can do is go back and delete old photos to make room. We had reached our limit once again! The only other thing to do is add more space for more money and that is not really an option unless someone wants to pony up some money! It should be ok now Zora. We all need to be aware of photo file sizes and keep them to a minimum. I deleted a bunch of my own photos to make room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zora Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Thanks but you didn't need to do that! I was okay with just those 2. How much space was on the other web site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyflyfsh Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Thanks but you didn't need to do that! I was okay with just those 2. How much space was on the other web site? the same as we have here but before we were allowed to limit the per upload per photo and now they have removed that option so people can load any size photo they want and I can't stop it.

Calvert Posted July 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 I usually try to keep my files around 100 KB, but then again, I run with dial-up at home, so I don't really have a choice. As far as looking at photos on the computer screen, bigger sized photos don't make any appreciable difference. here is a nice photo of my kids with the biggest mushroom I have EVER found! It is the same mushroom that I posted about, questioning it's edibilty a few weeks back. It has grown quite bigger since I last drove past.

zora Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Wow! That is huge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zora Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Had a pretty good day, but the chants are getting buggy. Found almost 2 lbs of them. Gathered some Craterellus cinereus. The same place that we found them with Dave last year and there are many more I left to grow. They smell soooo good. Found a huge amount of oysters. A couple of L. volemus which I love but never find a lot of. We got out of the woods just in time for a storm which is always a good thing. Lots of the mushrooms where blown from the storm last night I suspect. Strange weather this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladyflyfsh Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Calvert, Is that a Berkeley's polypore? Sure looks like it from the photo although I've never seen one in person. It's huge! Nice find Zora, that's a nice little haul ya got there. We just had a huge thunder storm here so I'm off the hook for having to water tonight! Yipee....

Calvert Posted July 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Calvert, Is that a Berkeley's polypore? Yes it is, I couldn't remember the name when I posted. It's right on the side of the road, in a village, through which our mushroom club will be passing "en route" to an autumn foray. I'm looking forward to pointing out this rather locally rare mushroom to fellow mushroom club members when we soon meet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvert Posted July 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 I'll be away for a few weeks...going camping! First at Bon Echo park in Ontario and then will visit the coast in Maine! Was really hoping to get some rains before the camping, but I think I should throw in the fishing rods just in case it stays dry Intertidal pools are great. It's been years since I've visited the coast. Hey, I wonder if there is a forum out there somewhere for people who love intertidal pools, and they take pic's and try to name all the different "creatures from the sea". not so far fetched.. Ah! Here's one, althougth they don't appear to have many members. I guess fungi win again. http://www.forumjar.com/forums/Intertidal_zone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladyflyfsh Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Gosh, I'd love to get up to Maine this summer. I went to summer camp in Maine when I was in 4th and 5th grades and loved it. It would be fun to go back for a few weeks to visit friends. Have fun Cal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamara Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Hey all! Heard they were getting some rain a few counties over, so I went mushrooming on a friend's property this past weekend. Found Chanterelles, both Cantharellus cibarius and Craterellus ignicolor, a small Black-staining Polypore (Meripilus giganteus), a Cauliflower Mushroom (Sparassis spathulata), and a number of good sized Tawny and Corrugated Milkcaps (Lactarius volemus and corrugis). Sigh, I am in heaven and in the process of attempting Mary's Wild Mushroom and Pecan Pate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zora Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 I have only found a cauliflower once and most of it was bad, but what I could taste was delicious! I would love to find these again. Congrats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mushroom Jack Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 My Grandaughter Jazmin & I were on our way to a spot, but never made it. Ain't " Road Hunting " GREAT !! We ended up with around 4 lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Great finds everyone. We finally got rain this week after 6 weeks of almost nothing. We might go out tomorrow for trumpets. We're getting a puppy today, so we'll be a little busy. May as well start her hunting mushrooms early I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zora Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Better train her not to step on them! Took yesterday off to hunt and came back with a golden chants, smooth chants, trumpets and a couple lactarius. Today we went down to get the hedge hogs. Didn't want to leave them any longer since next week is the NAMA foray. Small one is a Hydnum umbilicatum I would guess but have never seen them get big. The other is the Hydnum repandum.
