Many of Mushroom Education Class attendees came down the hill in order to try their had at finding and identifying mushrooms. We had quite a wide variety of species but not that many specimens of any one species. Just a few days to early for lots of the larger “mushroom” species and chanterelles. However, a couple of the ones we did find were interesting. Hymenopellis incognita had previously be found by club member Cecily Franklin and identified by Michael Kuo. On this walk we found it again along with a close look alike Hymenopellis furfuracea. There are slight differences in the margin of the cap and whether the stem is stuffed H. incognita, or hollow, H. furfuracea but confirmation came down to microscopic analysis of the spores.
