Waddell Creek

Today I found a new spot for yellow feet. Definitely the best one yet. I picked 2-3 pounds in under an hour. I also found a handful of hedgehogs. I'm sure more were there, but I didn't spend too much time looking. The other mushroom pictured here is an amethyst laccaria. I didn't get a very good shot of the creek, but I did manage to spot a few salmon.

Hike to Mima Falls

Kathryn posed next to hundreds of honey mushrooms. There were many more that we couldn't get into the picture. We found some Orange Peel fungus on a logging road, and few corals that I didn't identify. The Chanterelles were still there hiding in the Salal and Oregon Grape, but they were looking pretty old. The season is definitely nearing its end. We also came across some Black Fluted Elfin Saddles (Helvella Lacunosa), which are fairly common here in the winter.

Another Trip to Mclane Creek

I went back to Mclane creek a few days ago to watch the salmon. There were about 3-4 dozen in the stretch that is pictured here.

McLane Creek

I found these yesterday after watching salmon spawn in a nearby creek. They are sulphur tufts, toothed jelly fungus, admirable boletes, and hooded false morels.
