Morels

Lactarius deliciosus is orange when young, but bruises green and blue over the entire fruiting body.

Ruby Bonnet Mycena viscidocruenta

We tried to look for morels on Tuesday but all we found were Verpa conica, which apparently are also edible but everything we found was bug-filled so thank you, next. I want to keep looking in the mountains

From the Cortinarius cinnamomeus group; a dye mushroom producing peach colors on protein-based fibers

Xeromphalina campanella, radiant inside of a rotting tree.

Picked these today…this shit is wild, i can’t believe morels are out right now but I’m not mad!

Russula xerampelina (Shrimp Russula) and Russula sanguinea in the same basket (with Candy Caps as well!) The two Russula species are similar in appearance but upon tasting, sanguinea is very bitter and peppery while xerampelina has a mild taste. We ate the Shrimp Russula for dinner with Zatarain’s, onion, and potatoes

Candy Caps (Lactarius rubidus) drying on the dashboard while it rains (also identifying Cortinarius in the background)
