Above:  Il Porcino Ultimo (2017).  Helicopter Parents (2019).

Above: Porcino raising a log; pholiota squarrosa; Microstoma protractum (also called Rosy Goblet); my largest porcin find ever, 14 inch diameter, almost 5 pounds.

Below: 2019: What a great year! 4.3 pounds and worm-free is largest fresh one ever.

Below: Amanita muscaria is an indicator that porcini might be nearby. Can’t beat this for closeness of the two.

A morel: the only one I have ever found in Colorado. Lake County, 12600 feet.
