On Sunday, Ken and I drove down to Fort Stevens State Park at the mouth of the Columbia River. The ranger led discussion detailed edible and poisonous mushrooms that grow on the coastal ranges and wetlands of Oregon. A large display of mushrooms picked that morning offered a view of the many forms and colors this fungus may take. The King Boletus, aka Porcini, grows abundantly in the park of you know where to look. Unfortunately I didn't but others had success. Okanagan cyclists Heather and Ashley were kind enough to share two of their clutch with us.

Nice HBN goes shroomin'! So is the red bulbus one with the white specks poisonous or edible? Saw ones like that at Goosecreek's at the RTB a few years back.

Fly Aminitas. Toxic but not deadly. May cause hallucinations.
