09/19/10 Hilltop Hanover Farm in Yorktown, NY

We were surprised to fina any mushrooms growing in the woods on this walk, since it has been so dry throughout the summer. However, we did find a few: Lenzites betulina, a gilled polypore; Amanita bisporigera; Amanita cothurnata; Armillaria mellea; several species of russula from the mild tasting green ones to the bitter hot red ones. Another russula found was Russula sericeonitens, a mushroom I have seen at this time of yearin abundance at Silvan Glen. It is an edible.
