大葉(Perilla frutescens viridis)の爽やかな夏の香り(perillaldehyde)と共に

生卵(a raw egg)もお忘れなく

San Bernardino Mountains (11)

In trees, I like Manzanita the best.

It is my first time noticed their flowers












thought back on this and that at the morel foray 2011.....

     then found that some morels in my refrigerator are fusty

Oh no my sweet Morchella elata!

(about 2 weeks after the harvest)











We decide to eat all of them (no funked ones) by fondu

旨味！
Bye bye for now, see you next year

San Bernardino Mountains (10)

Cryptoporus volvatus

ねぇパックンチョ見つけた！

corky
 but not a oak gall

















Cryptic Globe Fungus

This reminds me of ヒトクチ茸 in Japan


But turnes out that ヒトクチ茸 is Cryptoporus volvatus (the same)


Oops

What I see in San Bernardino Mtn do not open their mouth yet












Known that insect larvae were often found inside, between the pores

Crypt-: hidden, secret
por-: pore, pores
volva-: wrapper, womb(volva)

San Bernardino Mountains (9)
