The Eastern B. edulis search: Cook Forest

Friday, August 28th, 2009

Cook Forest was my first stop in the Eastern Boletus edulis hunt.  It is an old growth hemlock and pine forest.  I found lots of boletes.  There are photos below.  Most I could identify if I took the time, but I will not. Feel free to do it yourself and post your knowledge here.

I found nothing that resembled B. edulis.  I found only a few chanterelles and Ganoderma tsugae was in short supply.  It was a very cold spring, with a hard freeze in May, and a rather chilly summer until August.  That may have affected output.

Unlike previous trips through Cook Forest, no bears came close to crashing into my car.  Cook Forest is a nice place to visit.  Even without the B. edulis.
