Slide 42.
This collection of Melanogaster turned up under a plum
tree but was probably actually associated with nearby Oregon White Oak
trees. The odor was nauseous-sweet but I was able to talk my youngest son
into trying it with me. It was most delicious with a delightful licorice
after-taste. I am still waiting for a confirmation on the identity of the
collection but it seems to fit Melanogaster euryspermus,
a widely distributed and fairly common Black Veined False Truffle.
