Coastal Redwood Fungi b/w “Touch My Perithecium”

Alan Rockefeller and I spend a few hours traipsing through a stand of coastal redwoods and tanbark oak on a cool January afternoon to see what’s popping up from the duff and the hillsides. we see the mycorrhizal and delicious Craterellus calicornucopioides, as well as the incredibly vivid red Hygrocybe coccinea. The black earth-tongue – Trichoglossum – is tiny but extremely bizarre. And then we learn what a perithecium is with the aid of Annulohypoxylon.
