there was a mushroom festival last weekend we went to. It was pretty low key, but pretty informative. I picked up a mushroom guidebook and I think I'm getting the mushroom id bug

Taken late August this year during our road trip - at a wild camp in North Central Saskatchewan, a province I had only known from earlier crossings via the South for its dry prairies and singing roadsides. Kindly pardon the use of my foot for perspective ... the dog was busy

I understand that the cap of a porcini can reach a foot in diameter ... but must admit my id skills are sadly lacking. This one was out in the open (hot summer) as well. Finding it in Saskatchewan just West of Flin FLon Manitoba - well, it surprised me. In several of the wild camps I took across the prairies, I found mushrooms in regions where it was hard to find enough tree cover to hide the vehicle. I recall thinking at the time, what a meal it would make!

My camp is completely surrounded by cool, deep-shade woods ...
So no surprise to find these growing everywhere on the forest floor just the other day .. not fancy but plentiful
As sure as jays squawk and crows caw ... fall colours are not far off. I'll expect flocks of grackles filling branches overhead soon. Temp 7⁰C overnight.
