Peninsula Mycological Circle

Finally back after a long wait for rain.  If we get some more rain soon it should be a really good season in the south bay.

Here are some pictures of huge Russulas  (Russula subnigricans )  found on our hike October 13th.

They were near a downed tree and covered with bark and duff.  Not toxic per se but they have an unpleasant order and are quite bitter.  Stomp on sight! :^)

Found nearby were some early chanterelles.  These were very small so I did not collect them.
