A month of rain means lots of mushrooms. This was all one bike ride with two stops to explore all the fungi..
This last one is a coral fungus. Looking at my mushroom book, it looks most like a cauliflower fungus, but the range doesn't say it lives this far north. Also says that r. strasberri is a northern species that is similar. These coral fungus are listed as 'choice' in the edible category. Not sure how I'd cook them. And since I'm not sure what it is, not planning to go back and get some.
If you are tired of rain, send it to Cherokee County, iowa COD. They are in a severe drought and Obrien County, iowa, right North iof cherokee where I am needs a month of rain, too. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteMike, Hearing about drying lakes and 100F+ temperatures down south, I wasn't complaining. Wally Hickel once proposed towing icebergs south to sell for water. That never materialized and those icebergs are getting scarcer here anyway now.
