Working Saturday...

I managed to translate about 4,500 source words, which is a good day's work, and saw the arrival of the next slug of The Big Edit™.

Around mid-day, Galina and I drove out to Site Lima, where I saw no lobsters, but I did see a copy of the yellowish mushroom I saw last year (in a slightly different spot), which - as it's likely a member of the Amanita family - could not help but raise the question of whether Amanita mushrooms can be parasitized by the lobster mushroom fungus? (The "traditional" lobster mushroom is actually the result of the parasitization of a Russula or Lactarius mushroom, but I recall reading, in one of my references, a general caveat regarding the possibility of the fungus doing its thing with a poisonous variety.)

Dinner was fried boletes with salmon and angel hair pasta. Scrumptious!

Tomorrow promises at least as much work.

Cheers...

Was this (http://www.mushroomexpert.com/floccularia_straminea.html) your yellow mushroom?

I've never seen lobster fungus up North, but there's a related parasite fungus that's yellowish/greenish that likes polypores & russulas. I can't remember the Latin name of it right now. I see that a lot up here.

Nope. The item I found was pretty much identical to the one I posted about here (http://alexpgp.livejournal.com/1384094.html) last year. (Hmmm, maybe I'll edit the post to include this link...)

I've heard about the yellowish/greenish parasite, but've never seen one.

Cheers...
