   Just a brief short note before I prepare a more extensive pictorial   
   overview.   
      
   Spent 4 days over the local Holidays getting lost in the forest.  Got   
   tired of hearing all of the stories about Oregon where the major action   
   was until recently. The wave moved Southwarth.  The season has been   
   late locally, since just today we're getting the first substantial fall rain   
   in   
   the San Fran area (month late).   
      
   But 120 miles North it is the depth of the season. Boletes of several   
   kinds, edible or just gorgeous, Coccora (Amanita caliptrata), white   
   and yellow chanterrelles, Tricholoma flavovirens, Shrimp Russulas in   
   amazing quantities and a few matsutakes starting to pop up. Not to   
   mention the other diversity -- colorful Corts, Entolomas, you name   
   it. Not to mention the coral reef.   
      
   As far as Boletus, the first day only.

   Dangerous stretch -- Hwy 1, between Mendocino and Ft. Bragg -- hard to   
   keep your eyes on the road when edulis babes hitch-hike your   
   attention...

   I'll put an extensive pictorial overview sometime during the following   
   days when I sort it all out.
