On Sunday Rick and I joined in a mushroom forage led by David Arora in Mendocino County. It was a treat to learn from the person who wrote the definitive books on mushroom hunting in the United States and Canada.
As we've had little rain - until today - the mushrooms were rather sparse. But we did find edible White Chanterelles, Queen Boletes, Shrimp Russula, Coccoras, Laccarias, The Prince and Milk Caps.
After the forage, we went to his house where he showed us the Death Cap.
Rick and I had brought a beautiful Red-capped Butter Bolete to give to David. We invited him to come to our property the following day to photograph the remaining ones. He also photographed this group of Coccoras at our place.

OMG I am so jealous. I wanted to go on this walk so so so badly, but it happened to coincide with a meeting/training that I had been preparing for since July. What a haul! It's amazing.

It was a great experience. Maureen, check on David's web site as he does other forages. It is davidarora.com.

I will. Thanks for the tip!
