golden chanterelle (Cantharellus cibarius) , purple-gilled laccaria (Laccaria ochropurpurea) & russula-like waxy cap (Hygrophorus russula) in Winneshiek Co. IA 854A9513
Nutritionists claim that it's healthful to have a colorful variety of foods on the dinner plate, so I'm doing my best to oblige. I've mentioned the chanterelle and purple-gilled laccaria before, but the russula-like waxy cap is a new find for the year. These rosy mushrooms fruit in the fall and dare I say may be my favorite among all the edible fungi I sample during a given year. They look very similar to some sickening Russula species, but have a very sticky cap that when touched feels like picking up a fresh frosted cinnamon bun.
