Joanne Angerame found her first Boletus edulis, with the help of her golden retriever, Riley. It's obvious Riley approves!

Even thought it's quite warm and dry right now, another edible mushroom is up - Coccora.

These mushrooms are in the Amanita family, and they are not for beginning foragers. They have a deadly look-a-like. You need to learn all three identification of this mushroom. Personally, I would never eat one I hadn't picked. One of their identifiers is their creamy top.

This morning Rick and I saw the first Fly Amanita up, always a fun sighting.

It's not an edible unless you parboil it twice, as David Arora showed a group of us one year on a mushroom forage. I prefer to watch them evolve, as they change shape quite dramatically.

Thanks to Joanne for allowing me to share her fun photo with you here.

Sunny skies with passing clouds is the order of the day.
