tylikFriday, I met with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bentnails to try and ID the splendidly huge mushrooms she had found... which were indeed Agaricus augustus, aka "The Prince". And she gave me half of the monster she brought along! Wonderful benzaldehyde scented mushroom!
Yesterday I went hiking withdymaxion and friends whose LJs I don't know, and while we didn't find any edible mushrooms (some lovely Amantia muscarias, though) we found wonderful amounts of ripe wild blueberries. Picking blueberries is weirdly addictive. (I'd just run out of blueberries for my morning cereal, too.)
Today I stopped by the Woodinville house to help Craig figure out what to do with the yard (yards? property?). I came away laden with pears from the back orchard. Then, on the way out I found a bunch of Leccinum scabrum, the birch bolete. So I returned to the house to grab the dehydrator... only to stumble across a patch of Coprinus comates "Shaggy Manes". So I picked a bunch, picked up the dehydrator, dropped off mushrooms (Craig is particularly fond of Shaggy Manes) and headed home...
It's so very seasonal, and with the exception of the hike, I don't even feel like I've been trying.
