Amanitas and Boletes!
Congratulations to Jon (@notdog ) for locating our first Amanita of the season (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/82456616).
Friday I found my first Boletus subvelutipes (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/82591114) and posted a Journal entry about it (https://www.inaturalist.org/journal/pcpalmer3/53247-notes-on-my-first-boletus-subvelutipes).
I'm hoping we can record more B. subvelutipes as part of the project. One of the project goals is to map out the colonies of certain key mycorrhizals which should allow us to track the timing and conditions of their appearances over time. Ideally we will taxonomically ground each colony with DNA sequencing. The project has received grants from FunDiS for sequencing sample to support that effort. It is even possible that we will develop the capability of generating our own DIY sequences -- more to come.
