What we learned from Arora is this mushroom is substantial, not flimsy or light. To confirm the ID bite a small piece of the cap, chew and then spit it out. If you taste pepper it is NOT the Shrimp. I will photograph the group that just bloomed and post on this blog. Good luck!Jeanne Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15111580270540578969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821251408085844301.post-58337019324165349702012-01-12T03:44:16.475-08:002012-01-12T03:44:16.475-08:00PS, I am dying to learn to identify the shrimp rus...PS, I am dying to learn to identify the shrimp russula and I know you learned it earlier this year from the great David Arora himself.

We checked our neighbors property at about 300 feet and only found a few Hedgehogs and Black Trumpets. But there were lots of tiny Hedgehogs so good things are to come!Jeanne Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15111580270540578969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821251408085844301.post-29311728794871857242012-01-10T20:38:16.132-08:002012-01-10T20:38:16.132-08:00I'm so glad they are still popping.

I am coming up this weekend (and next too) and was worried our dry winter was going to foil my mushrooming.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15177807824537319077noreply@blogger.com
