Good evening, friends, Yesterday, the Cape Cod Mycological Society met in the Shawme-Crowell State Forest for quite a successful mushroom walk. We found black trumpets, which was quite a surprise for this time of the year because they’re typically a summer mushroom. Our hypothesis was that it was such a dry summer they weren’t able to grow until now (after we’ve finally had an abundance of rain), and it was better to fruit late in the fall than to miss a year of spore dispers

This week we’re opting for a treat of a mushroom, however finding them was a bit of a trick. A couple Sundays ago, the Cape Cod Mycological Society ventured out to the Cape Cod National Seashore in Wellfleet, MA to try and hunt down the coveted Matsutake (Tricholoma magnivelare).
