Another great Echo Summit Foray is in the history books. Sadly, the weather has been so warm and dry this year that despite spreading out and searching a wide area, no one found any edible Boletus.
Our 2013 Echo Summit foray was met with stunning early Autumn weather, warm sunny days and clear night skies. The view from the California Alpine Club lodge was amazing and the company exceptional.
Last weekend I drove up Hwy 50 looking for Porcini. At Wrights lake, I found one buggy Bolete and several cuttings. A forest service employee who lives there told me they had a thunderstorm 3 weeks earlier - nothing since.
