After a long hike through the woods yesterday, I came across plenty of beautiful mushrooms growing in the forest. Some of my favorite finds from the day included the Wrinkled Peach (Rhodotus palmatus), a striking pink fungus with a intricated reticulated cap, as well as the Leafy Brain (Phaeotremella foliacea), a gelatinous, lobed fungi that parasitizes fungi of the Stereum genus.
Along with these unique specimens, I came across a wealth of boletes growing along the trails that snaked their way deeper into the wood. Guiding my way was the Old-man-of-the-woods (Strobilomyces strobilaceus) as well as the dozens of Chestnut Boletes (Gyroporus castaneus) strewn along the side of the trail in such abundance that they reminded me of the trail of breadcrumbs left by Hansel and Gretel. Once I had reached the pond that sits at the heart of the wood, I was rewarded with a bounty of boletes growing along the banks of the water.
Below are a selection of the many bolete and non-bolete species that I encountered on my most recent walk.
As always, feel free to offer your suggestions if you believe I have misidentified any of the species listed below. Thank you!
