I thought  you might enjoy this holiday wreath made up of Fly Amanita mushrooms, Amanita muscaria.

A lovely way to celebrate the holiday season!

We had a pretty strong storm overnight last night that brought 1.4 inches of rain. We sailed past 30 inches of rain so far this season, more than we had all of last season. Keep it coming, Mother Nature!

Jackie Baas found the first Boletus edulis, King bolete, of the season about two weeks ago. Here's the beauty that popped up in an area she has never found one before.first-boletus-edulis-of-the-season-by-jackie-baasSince then we've had more rain and now the King boletes are abundant. Irma Brandt found a very fertile area last week.

I spotted the first Fly amanitas two days ago, and two Coccoras are peeking up under the duff in our forest. Tiny mushrooms are appearing in masses. Oh, it's so fun to have this early rain and have the mushrooms appear!
