I don’t really have much to blog about today, but I did have a couple of photos of some of the local fungus that I wanted to show you. Above are Shaggy Mane mushrooms that have come up in the lawn. Shaggy Manes are edible and tasty.
The photo below show some conks that have erupted on the trunk of a tree. When I was a timber cruiser if I saw conks on a tree, it meant that the inside of the tree was rotting. All of the mushrooms and conks you see are just the fruiting body of the plant. Most of the plant is growing underground or inside the tree.
At the end of the month, there is going to be a mushroom weekend in the Robson Valley, with fungus experts leading trips into the forests to help locals identify edible mushrooms.
