Unidentified Don't know what this one is. Photo on 7/25/2004. 0 05/27/2005

Aspen Orange Bolete These large mushrooms grow under Aspen trees. They are quite prolific on our land. There is some controversy over their edibility with a hypothesis that there is more than one variety -- one of which is toxic. I haven't tried eating one. As they age, which happens quite fast, bugs tend to take over. Also called "orange caps", I think. Photo taken on 7/25/2004. 0 05/27/2005

Unidentified A lot of my mushroom photos will be "unidentified". Hundreds of different mushrooms grow on the cabin land, and most are very hard for me to identify. This cluster of mushrooms were among the first we saw this year. This photo was taken on 6/11/2005. They are growing right up next to a dead aspen trunk. Photo by Lynne. These mushrooms were gilled. The gills were attached to the stalk, and white to maybe a light cream color. The stalk was very fiberous and did not break clean. My best guess would be Lyophyllum decastes also called Fried Chicken Mushrooms or, in Japan, shimenji. 0 06/17/2005

Angel Wings - Day 1 On the 6th of July, 2005, Lynne spotted these mushrooms growing out of a scar on a standing dead aspen tree. Clearly some kind of oyster mushroom, we believed them to be Angel Wings and could already taste them in our mouths. Since we had several more days at the cabin. We decided to leave them and let them grow before harvesting them. You can follow their progress in the next few photos. Photo by Lynne on 7/6/2005. 0 07/25/2005

Angel Wings - Day 2 Not sure if you can see that they've grown some. Photo by Lynne on 7/7/2005. 0 07/25/2005

Angel Wings - Day 3 Here, you can clearly see that they are growing! Yum! But, there is no photo for day 4 or day 5. On day 4 the mushrooms were gone! Picked and eaten by some lucky critter of the woods. 0 07/25/2005

Granulated Slippery Jack? I think this is a Granulated Slippery Jack (Suillus granulatus). If so, it is edible, although we did not try. This is a side view that clearly shows the pores (instead of gills) under the cap, and the scabered stalk. 0 07/25/2005

Oyster-style Mushroom Photo by Lyne on 7/15/2005. This may be Angel Wings, but is surely edible. 0 07/28/2005
