Aspen Orange Bolete This is a baby Aspen Orange Bolete, also called an Orange Cap. Notice it is growing next to a baby pine tree! Supposedly edible. Photo by Lynne on 7/29/2005. 0 08/02/2005

Oyster Mushrooms There is a fallen, dead aspen tree on our southern property that we call the "oyster tree" because it grows a pretty good crop of oyster mushrooms each year. Here are a few of them. Photo taken on 7/30/2005. These were harvested and cooked for dinner. 0 08/02/2005

Russela This is some kind of russela mushroom, perhaps a shrimp russela. The stalk broke like a stick of chalk, the bottom of the stalk has a rosy color. The spores were yellow. The cap a nice cinammon brown. No special odor. Photo on 7/29/2005 by Rick. 0 08/02/2005

Fairy Ring Mushroom? This looks a lot like a Fairy Ring Mushroom. However, I did not pick it so cannot verify from spore color or staining (or lack thereof). One should never identify a mushroom solely from pictures in a book. There is way too much variability. 0 08/02/2005
