Lactarius rubidus, candy caps, Tom Volk's Fungus of the Month for October 2005 Tom Volk's Fungus of the Month for October 2005 for the rest of Tom Volk's pages on fungi If you're lucky enough to be able to go trick-or-treating this Halloween, you're probably hoping for some candy or popcorn balls or oatmeal-raisin cookies, or maybe some razor-blade free apples. I remember my best Halloween when I was about 10 years old in Ohio. The Zarlenga's from up the street were rumored to be giving out homemade candy apples. My sister and I high-tailed it there and each got a delicious bright red candy apple (you know, the kind that's really sticky with the sour apple underneath). We always knew who had the best and largest candy in our neighborhood, and some kids even changed costumes to go out and get the good ones again (I never did that...). However, I wonder what we kids would have done if we had found out someone was giving out mushrooms???! As a 10-year-old I probably would have avoided that house, but these days I would be thrilled, as long as they were giving out candy caps..
