Melted down shroom fest love orgy

Being aware of rising river levels. Back in the day, I was winter steelhead fishing with a buddy on the coast. We had hiked in several miles to a remote section that we had never been to before. At one point we decided to cross the river to fish this juicy looking bend. The only good looking...

Matsutake lover.

It’s a Suillus of some kind, not sure exactly which variety. Boletus edulis (porcini) have a distinct netting pattern on the stem (reticulation). The pores are also much smaller and tighter than most Suillus. As mentioned above, boletus edulis will not stain (change color) when bruised or cut...

I’m assuming you made that bread? Looks good!

Thank you, I will look for that book. Yes, there were other people digging razor clams that day but only a few where we were. The worm was very far up the beach and away from the digging area so I don’t think it was dug up by a human.

Thank you for the detailed info Steve. I hope it’s not bothersome to always be getting asked these questions. The Pacific lugworm did seem out of place on top of the sand. The tide was pretty far out from where it was located and it didn’t seem like it belonged there. On a somewhat related...

It’s some kind of worm, not sure what. Found while razor clamming on the beach far from vegetation. Maybe @Cabezon knows? It was about 2 1/2 - 3 inches long or so and slowly moving across the sand. The deep red and purple hue had me curious.

I’m partially being a smart ass. Yes there is some pretty decent Mexican food in Tacoma. Taqueria Dona Chole on McKinley Ave is my go to taco truck. Worth a stop if in the area. Chicagoland just has such a huge Hispanic population so you have more to choose from. There is also a different...

Not to detail but… For a cheap thrill: visit an Oregon hatchery with one of those gumball machines filled with pellets. Then toss pellets into the pools filled with Bass Pro-esque steelhead and sturgeon. Good times.

Having grown up in the Midwest I know all about the casserole comfort foods. My mom makes the most killer tuna noodle casserole and it was dinner at least once a month growing up. She makes it for me every time I visit her which always warms my heart. I’m pretty sure that Campbell’s Cream of...

Not quite my backyard but within my general stomping grounds.

No worries Steve. I only learned about our native crabapple a few years ago. It’s interesting how after you learn to identify a new flower, plant, tree etc. all of the sudden you see them everywhere (within their habitat of course). There was a Pacific Crabapple tree behind my campsite at TH on...

Within an apple’s throw indeed. Looks like he’s enjoying some low hanging Pacific Crabapple. Great pics as usual!

Coming down good in Tacoma the last 30 minutes or so. The downtown streets have minor flooding along the road edges and drains are loaded up, shooting water out of the man hole covers.

Kalua pork shoulder Just finished wrapping them up. It’s gonna be a long night.

Feeding the camp squirrel some bolete trimmings, after it tried to raid our cache 😁

MA10 has some beaches where you can get them on the fly. It’s not too late.
