Mushrooms pictures taken
while hiking the Meadow Trail
on Mt Lemmon. The Meadow Trail is at
the top of Mt Lemmon in the pine trees
and duff which mushrooms really like.
It's an eight tenths of a mile trail
that parallels the Lemmon Trail

Some white 'puff ball' type
mushrooms
|
|
Some yellow mushrooms with a
wide cap
|
|
More of the same yellow colored
mushrooms growing from the duff
|
|
Some bright orange 'slime' growing
on a fallen tree
|
|
Some wood mushrooms growing
on dead wood along the Meadow Trail
|
|
The sign at the trailhead /
parking lot for the trail and
one of the five cigarette butts
I found (and picked up) along
the trail. What kind of A-hole
walks a trail on top a mountain
and smokes, and then has the
balls to leave the butt on the
ground in an area that has burned
down in the past? This is the
worst kind of jerk in my opinion

Signs where the the Meadow Trail
joins the Lemon Trail
|
|
Some of the trail is along cleared
open trail, not many mushrooms
grow in these areas. Other parts
of the trail are in the shaded
pine trees and more mushrooms
|
|
There are military installations
at the top of the mountain with
fences and signs warning trespassers

Some Mushroom guides could be
helpful on a hike like this.

Mushrooms of North America by
Roger Phillips is my current
favorite, but it's big
In this beautifully
illustrated book, Phillips vividly
presents the world of mushrooms.
Unlike the photographs in other
guides, which are taken in the
field, the more than 1000 color
photographs featured here were
shot in the studio in order to
capture both the external features
of mushrooms as well as their internal
anatomy. Each picture includes
specimens representing various
stages of growth, and the accompanying
annotation describes the anatomy
of the cap, gills, stem, and spores.
In addition, the author explains
where the particular species of
mushroom is found, its season of
growth, and whether or not it is
edible. Amateur mycologists as
well as professionals in the field
will find this book an invaluable
guide. Highly recommended as a
basic library reference source.

The Savory Wild Mushroom by
Margaret McKenny
The third edition
of this field guide (first published
as The Savory Wild Mushroom)
describes 199 edible, non-edible,
and poisonous mushrooms commonly
found in the Pacific Northwest,
but omits the recipes included
in the 1962 and 1971 editions.
Grouped by the general types
of the fruiting bodies, the entries
feature a color photograph, give
common and scientific names,
describe the mushroom, and remark
on its edibility and similarity
to other species. The guide includes
an up-to-date chapter on mushroom
poisons. Beginners will appreciate
the well-printed photographs
and clear, nontechnical language.
Advanced mycophiles will prefer
the Audubon Society Field Guide
to North American Mushrooms
