Old Man Of The Woods

Old Man of the Woods

Strobilomyces sp.

This shaggy, dusky mushroom is in the bolete family and can be hard to find because it often blends in with leaf litter or pinecones.

Cinnabar Chanterelles

Cantharellus subg. Cinnabarinus

Like their larger bright yellow cousins, these small reddish orange chanterelles feature false gills which do not easily flake away; likewise, this characteristic helps distinguish them from poisonous lookalikes such as the jack o' lantern mushroom.

Edible (at your own risk). Always have a positive ID before trying any wild mushroom you forage.

Hericium erinaceus

A wonderful surprise awaited us while on a hike. Lion's Mane has a very mild flavor and contains bioactive compounds that have been proven to improve brain health. Remember to always forage respectfully and sustainably.
