And by
they I mean the
mushrooms, which you know I have a great affinity for...
as well as brain-like slime molds,
and golden fungi.
But the discovery of the day were these early spring bowls of red Ascomycetes, cup fungi, which were mostly covered by dead leaves at the base of a fallen tree. Now I find myself looking ahead and wondering if the local restaurant will offer delicious chicken-of-the-woods in cream sauce again, and if the eerie
stinkhorn will reappear in the sawdust outside of J's shop door...ah, summer!

You know you can eat the eery stinkhorns when the are just round knobs in popping up?
My wife and I found chantrells during a hike this weekend. We were ecstatic.
I have seen those red ones too!
They almost seemed fake at first..I had to really take a close look
But I have to tell you...I saw him!
I did! ET!!
Marie, really? Hmmm. I take it they don't smell at that stage...
I think, though I'm not entirely sure, that we have chantrells here in the Northeast woods. I'd be ecstatic to find some too!
Suz, ET? You mean the slime?!
