Because of the lack of fungi found lately near home at our altitude, we decided to go down to Caribou Road, which is around 2500 ft. elevation. We drove to the first river crossing and walked around the parking spot just below the bridge. We didn't find much there except part of an old Butter Bolete. We continued back toward SR70, stopping at each of the campgrounds, and after much walking, saw lots of different species, a few new to me. Along the way we found and picked a batch of wild grapes. They were probably too old for much of a taste. The oyster mushrooms were the only edible mushrooms we brought home with us. The Boletus erythopus was a first for me, as well as the very distinctive, unidentified Suillus. Any help in identifying the mushrooms or correcting the names, would be appreciated. It was a beautiful drive, a pleasant lunch at the local restaurant, and in all, a great day to be out in the woods. Findings (top) Click on any image to get a larger image.
