When: 2006-07-15
Collection location: Point Reyes National Seashore, Marin Co., California, USA [Click for map]
No specimen available
Notes:
We saw over a dozen fruiting bodies localized in one area about the size of an average home. It was a hot day in the summer and only one other gilled mushroom, a Russula, was spotted all day. The trees were all Doug-fir and most of them were small, less than 6 inches in diameter.
