Finding the FUNgi
in Caldera Springs
DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THE SHAGGY MANE?
If you’ve been out on walks and hikes this fall, you’ve probably
noticed a lot of different mushrooms growing. Caldera Springs
and the Sunriver area is covered in mushrooms. It’s been
particularly noticeable on the Caldera Springs berm off of South
Century Drive.
The overabundance of mushrooms can be attributed to an
unusual combination of rain and warm temperature this fall.
We’ve spotted many varieties of mushrooms in Caldera Springs,
but by far the most prolific is the Shaggy Mane (Coprinus
Comatus). Also known as Lawyers Wig, this mushroom variety is
edible, although it has a very short usability window. According
to mushroom-collecting.com, the mushrooms are suitable with
eggs, cheese, white sauces, mild vegetables, chicken and fish.
They resemble Coprinus atramentarius, which can cause adverse
reactions when consumed with alcohol, so it’s best to use caution
when using Shaggy Mane in edible dishes. You don’t want to mix
these two up.
The Shaggy Mane becomes inky quite quickly through it’s growth
stage, and as a result, it can also be used to dye fiber such as
wool and paper.
More interesting facts about the Shaggy Mane and other
mushroom varieties can be found at mushroom-appreciation.
com and mushroom-collecting.com.

Snow Safety
WINTER REMINDERS FOR A SAFE COMMUNITY
Winter is almost upon us, and snow will be here before
you know it! Along with the beauty of our winter
wonderland comes the task of snow removal. Below you
will find a few guidelines and tips for snow removal in
Caldera Springs:
The Owners Association has a contract with a private
company to remove snow on the roadways and in
community-owned parking lots. This company will start
snow removal once we have an accumulation of three
inches or more.
Owners are responsible for snow removal at their
residence. Please remember:
• All snow must remain on your property.
• Snow from your property should not be pushed onto
common areas or the neighboring property.
• Snow should not be pushed into the street for other
motorists to navigate through or snowplows to
contend with.
• Be sure to keep access to your swales clear of snow.
Water needs a way to travel to your swales when the
snow melts.
• Using a snow blower, versus a snow plow, is a great
way to move snow out of your drive and walkways
without creating a snow dam.
Please contact Joanna Johns at Joanna@Bendnet.com
or (541) 410-4177 with any snow removal questions.
Thank you for helping make Caldera Springs a safe and beautiful winter wonderland.
