After ten days in Shamattawa, I can say one of the great things about being here is the mushrooms. Look what I find within a few hundred metres of my house:
Species I have identified so far:
- Suillus - plentiful everywhere
- Leccinum boreale - scattered under spruce, pine and poplar
- Shaggy Mane - a few places along bull-dozed roads
- Short-stemmed bolete/Suillus brevipes - scattered under spruce and pine
- Gem-studded puffball - in yards, roadsides and scattered throughout spruce, pine and poplar
- Sarcodon imbricatus - scattered under pine/spruce - small so far, not like Wasagamack where they were giants.
