From M. oreades in the past (even when cooked), but I did not sniff these particular ones. They were also right next to a major UW road so were not good for picking.
It is supposed to smell almondy… I have a hard time detecting it on collections from Santa Cruz…
The Center for Urban Horticulture is an old favorite hunting ground. I sure miss Seattle when I see your observations! I always said it was a gian mushroom city with buildings in the way.
Nice to see your posts.
In suburban/urban areas for a few reasons:
1) It is where I started learning about fungi.
2) I do not drive!
3) It intrigues me to study the fungi you can find in your own neighborhood.
I found this and brought this in on my way to the PSMS ID clinic.
Sounds like one of my finds.Im always picking specimens in weird places.My kids used to think Im crazy but now there doing it and bringing them to me.
recently and have detected no almondy odor yet….
