Winecaps Under Japanese Maples

Winecap stropharia mushrooms I found growing under Japanese maples at the Arnold Arboretum in Boston in June 2009. These tasty fungi (beware of toxic look-alikes!), sometimes grown commercially, often grow in wood chips in spring and summer. The caps can grow to a diameter of 10"+, under favorable conditions. Robusto!
