Here are some queen boletes (Boletus regineus) fruiting in my food forest garden. This species is closely related to the king bolete. They are growing on the roots of an adjacent chinquapin. They are also found under madrones, manzanita and huckleberries, all of which are in or near my garden.

Not edible, but I love the fairytale look of these tiny bird’s nest fungi. The biggest ones were the size of the tip of my pinky.

I found some cup fungus near my back porch to start off the Spring season!

This morning we got some nice rain here in Oregon, and while on my morning run, I found a giant, pristine Prince mushroom (Agaricus augustus) under a Doug fir tree. What a surprise!

Yay! The fun guys! I have weird purple one I can’t identify, and just a real pretty one. Ideas?
Note: I am not a mushroom person so I am very clueless, I have asked mushroom people and tree people and can’t find an answer.

Stinging nettles are edible. But I really want to see you try to eat this tiny ad:
