Sarcodon imbricatus - Karen Dillman

Description :

Description: English: Sarcodon inbricatus is the most common of this genus in the Pacific Northwest. The scaly cap becomes darker with age. The younger mushrooms in the foreground are reminiscent of hawk wings, of which this species is often called. The underside has short to moderate spines. The mushroom has a mild odor and taste. However, it is generally known to be better for the dye pot (produces grey-blue on wool) than the soup pot. Date: 8 September 2017.
