It finally started raining again, so there are fungus among us! I like to eat wild mushrooms. There are a couple patches of mushrooms that come up every fall here at my place, so I though you might like to play a game I call -- Will I Eat This, Or Not?
Here's how the game goes. I will show some key features of these mushrooms that will allow you to mull over whether I will eat them or not. Then, I will go through the steps and thought process I use to identify the mushrooms and decide whether I will eat them or not.
To identify these mushrooms, I am using 2 different keys, which are great tools for focusing on specific features of a mushroom and making "either-or" decisions that ultimately lead to figuring out what kind it is. To find out the general type of mushroom I've got, I use the inside cover from the book, "All That The Rain Promises and More", by David Aurora. To figure out the specific kind of mushroom I've got, once I know it's some sort of Agaricus, I use the "Trial Key of Common Agaricus Species of the Cnetral California Coast", by Fred Stevens. I have found this key to work well even where I live, in Oregon's Willamette Valley.
