October 6 | October 8

On October 6 and 8,  we went up to Buck's Lake, at about 5000 ft., and found lots of different species again.

On the 6th, the first mushrooms we found looked like a Boletus edulis, but had slightly pink pore tubes. I thought it was another red-pored bolete but when cut it had white flesh that seemed to stain reddish-brown at the top.

The other mushrooms at that spot included a rosette of Phaeolus schweinitzii and some mushrooms that looked like a boletus edulis except they had pinkish pore tubes. I think it is a Tylopilus of some kind.

We the went to a campground near the lake, and found more of the "Tylopilus", plus the usual bunch  of various Russulas.

On the Buck's Lake loop trail at the north end of the lake, we saw lots more mushrooms than the last time we were there just a week ago, including more "Tylopilus", Gastoboletus, Ramaria, Ganoderma, Russula, Chroogomphus, Suillus, Albatrellus, and a few other Boletes.

Below are several of the pictures taken:
