Thanks Elaine, I guess I'll have to wait until spring to collect
those types of fungi. I know the type you mean. I usually see them
in leaf litter and near fallen trees. Can you collect mushrooms or
is that a no-no? It's too bad the shelf fungi can't be used in the
soil applications, I see so much of that type of fungus all year
long.

I think we have some pictures of these on the SFI website. David
Loring has pictures on his web site too. Anyone else have pictures
of happy, healthy, good-guy fungi?
