  1. omg you crossed 1,500 species photographed, you're a legend! Posted 6 years ago
    1. check that out... I hadn't even noticed :) We're having a different sort of weather year - it's been very warm, but not bone dry as well. Our more typical patterns are either warm and dry or cool and wet, so I'm hoping it means more mushroom species that I haven't seen yet - so far this is seeming to be true. Those false truffles are all over the place this year, and in all the years I've been looking closely, I've never seen them before! I got lucky this weekend - 5 different mushrooms that all had characteristics that made them identifiable. Posted 6 years ago
