First mushrooms!
Egged on by LJ friend ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
vuzh's question about shaggy manes, I decided to take the Civic out into the boonies to see what I could see. I was pretty sure it's way too early for shaggies, but then again, the woods have been receiving a pretty steady diet of rain over the past couple of weeks, so you never know.
Based on where I've seen shaggy manes erupting in previous years, I can definitevely state that there are no such mushrooms in evidence in our neck of the woods, yet.
However, on the way to where there be shaggies, I found the following:
The specimens on the left-hand side are oyster mushrooms, while the mushrooms with the orange caps are aspen boletes (I'm pretty sure they are Leccinium insigne, but I may have one or two exemplars of Lecciuium fibrillosum, too.)
I cooked a couple of the boletes and ate them with some pork. I found the mushrooms to be on the lackluster side, tastewise (then again, I didn't spice 'em up or anything.)
Cheers...
