As always, practice care in foraging for wild foods. I did not eat any of the mushrooms I picked close to town due to the mining activity close to the area - I only collect them for identification purposes and taking spore prints to double check species.
When in doubt, DO NOT EAT!

| Birch Bolete (Leccinum scabrum) |
 |
| Leccinum scabrum, sectioned |
 |
| Lactarius torminosulus (Woolly Milk cap, northern variety) |
 |
| Light tan gills |
 |
| Haven't identified this one yet - lost the fungus on the way home, duuh! Much suspect this to be Boletus pinophilus due to the reticulation on stipe, and the fattened base. |
 |
| I am still kicking myself for losing this fine specimen. I blame the mosquitos and blackflies for my incessant flapping about and dropping things in the bush. |
 |
| Yet another Birch Bolete! Worms love them, too. |
 |
| Big one! |
 |
| Taking a break from mushroom hunting. |
 |
| You need bug shirt here in the summer and autumn. See that mosquito just over my left shoulder, marring the lake background? |
