Albion II 2012 Recap

The wet and wild Mendocino coast cultured a successful Albion II foray for all attendees. Friday, by all accounts, was a day of liquid sunshine.

Rain gear prevailed for successful collections of many species for the identification lab and a plethora of fine edibles. The rain spirits teased us early Saturday with a quick hail storm and then the sun broke thru and temperatures warmed.


A happy and satisfied group convened for our traditional Saturday evening potluck and many baskets of edibles were viewed. Black trumpets, hedgehogs, yellow feet and chanterelles were abundant along with a few late season Matsutake.


Sunday saw intrepid attendees continuing their forays (rain gear again) and many were entertained on the drive home with a radio broadcast of the 49ers game.


Special thank-you to Bill and Jeri White for hosting this event and obtaining our collection permits.
