As fall sets in, I’ve coined a new term, velomycology, the search for mushrooms by bicycle, and I find myself slowing to look for birch boletes, shaggy manes, candy caps, and other fall mushrooms on my commute 
(it’s one way to look forward to the cold and rain!). Last week, while practicing velomycology in the dirt under some bushes between an Amoco station and busy Delridge way, I found a heart-shaped mushroom (Scleroderma areolatum).
