Early Seattle mushrooms

[Jim Berlstein]

     While strolling through some local woods and ball fields with my 
fungus hunting budies (Great Danes, of course) I spotted some spring 
entalomas (in grass) and and some Amianita Pantherinas (in woods).  
Apparently winter is coming on sunday, but I was wondering if others have 
seen any extremely early fruitings.  Also, does anyone think that this 
weird weather will bring on morel season early as well? Anyone find any 
verpas yet? Some nice morels appeared last year were the city did some 
digging by the "mailbox rack" in front of my neihbors house.  As he has 
graded his trailer parking area only twenty feet away from there, I'm 
expecting BIG things this year!

Waiting for spring in Seattle
