Fall ’shrooms: Identifying a red bolete mushroom
Testing some red bolete mushrooms to determine the species can be tricky, as mushroom identification generally is.
Join me in exploring nature and conservation in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia and beyond. As a nature writer, photographer, conservationist, and an eternal student of the natural world, my mission is to plumb its mysteries and share what I observe about species' lives and the ecosystems they inhabit—day by day, season by season.
