Time to gear up for mushroom season. I found these babies outside of my apartment in Portland. I believe this to be a Prince mushroom, Agaricus augustus, based on the scaly, yellow-staining cap, combined with the strong almond-like odor of the flesh, and shaggy stalk among other features. David Aurora writes in All that the Rain Promises and More…, “One of the very best! The sweet fragrance and flavor are a real treat.” Looks like I’ve got a plan for dinner tonight.
nice shrooms! i’ve always wanted to try “the prince” but i’ve yet to feel super-comfy with the agaricus genus in general. other than meadow mushrooms i’m never sure if it’s the one i hope it is or a toxic look-alike. anyway, i hope you enjoyed the mushies, and we should go huntin’ in molalla or larch mt. (or i guess maybe outside your apartment) when you get back from cali. btw, your cats are doing fine and the dandelion mead is out of control good. thanks again!
