Candied Dacrymyces! You are the absolute coolest.

I believe we were in the deciduous Nothofagus forest when we found that, although I'm not sure whether the distinction holds up in Chile. But I just found one or the other today - just a tiny log that I'll have to look at - and now I want to make candy out of it!

We did not eat the muscaria I'm afraid, or the rubescens I'm going to highlight later, though I know parboiling a couple of times works for the muscaria. We were really racing around the country with limited cooking ability or timing. We did have a meal of several Ramellas and what used to be a Macrolepiota but is now in some other genus. It was still a great trip though all around.
