I might just start by walking around Rock Creek Park and look around without picking, just to get a feel for it.

Several interesting examples recently started appearing in my front yard.

You should take some photos and post them on here!

(though chanterelles might be around soon).

They are popping up now on in WA.

If you have a bottle of 08 Clos de la Roilette you should open one. It is just brilliant and totally ready to go. 2008 is turning out to be a very useful vintage. The definition of transparent.

BJ of course may want to continue to cellar his bottles

So dry I haven't even started looking! Bully! The coming week bodes well to start flushing for real...

They are smaller now but the texture and flavor are better.
Very dense, before they get big and waterlogged later in the season.

Though this is one more confirmation that Amanitas are tasty mushrooms in general.
Coccora and Grisettes both have lovely texture but even if you're spot-on sure of your identification there's always a niggling bit in the back of your head saying, "What if....!" They're both beautiful mushrooms, though, especially the Coccoras.
