365Caws is now in its 16th year of publication. If I am unable to post daily, I hope readers who love the natural world and fiberarts will seize those days to read the older material. Remember that this has been my journey as well, so you may find errors in my identifications of plants. I have tried to correct them as I discover them. Likewise, I have refined fiberarts techniques and have adjusted recipes, so search by tags to find the most current information. And thank you for following me!

A Day's Mushrooming
Makeup Day 1: Two members of the interpretive staff and I went out during lunch break today to see how the Ramaria araoispora was coming along. In the process, we found dozens of other beautiful specimens to photograph whether or not we'll ever be able to positively identify more than just a few species. Also among our finds were enough chanterelles for a couple of servings of "Ranger Fries." I seethed mine in butter seasoned with garlic salt and just a touch of thyme. Top, Pholiota sp.; bottom left, Ramaria araiospora rubella; bottom right, Cantharellus sp.
