We headed out to
North Park Saturday to look for mushrooms with the
WPMC. The main object of the hunt?
Chanterelles! Unfortunatly, the weather's been quite dry, and the only chanterelles we found were quite small and not worth picking, although some people found a number of good sized ones. We did get a number of
Old Man of the Woods, and a nice bagful of
black trumpets, along with a few edible boletes. The day ended with a picnic in the grove. I believe the picture above is of a bitter bolete, which while not poisonous, is inedible due to its bitterness.
