The fungus hits just keep coming

Walked through our woods again today. More maitakes and some coral tooth. Found some little maitakes that I am going to see if they get bigger.

Now to grill up some deer round steak.

Life is good.

Envious of your mushroom bounty!! Once the morels and shaggy manes are gone here, I'm left with oyster mushrooms - not even in the same zip code if quality as you have!!

The only 2 i know. Are chicken mushrooms and rams heads.

Man that's cool. Where'd you learn how to identify the different kinds? Always wanted to get into mushrooms but don't trust myself just reading books and looking at pictures. Need a good mentor. Had a neighbor as a kid that always picked wild mushrooms but I was too young to be involved. Would love to be able to run around the woods with him now.

I don 't know where you are located but if you are west of the Rockies, there is a book named "All The Rain Promises, And More" by David Arora that is one of the best hip pocket guides I know of for the West. I have been mushroom hunting for many years and I still keep it in my satchel when wandering in our woods. I have several other reference guides which are larger and more detailed at home but I carry Arora's little book. It has great pictures.

Boy do I wish I was west of the Rockies. Unfortunately east of the Mississippi!! Thanks for the heads up on the book though, I do have a book supposedly one of the best. Can't remember the name just now, it's just that I don't trust myself using it alone.

There is a surprising amount of information on YouTube. One series is "Learn Your Land" or similar. The guy is in Pennsylvania. He goes into a lot of detail about identifying various fungi. We also have a book on edible mushrooms of Illinois. Believe it or not there are clubs devoted to foraging mushrooms. Not in our area but other places.

The one unbreakable rule we have is "if it could possibly be confused with something poisonous it stays in the woods". Around here people go nuts hunting morels but there are loads of other mushrooms that are just as tasty and available throughout the year. We have found oyster mushrooms in December. Also some State DNR'S have books available on mushrooms in their state.

Get a good book, watch some videos and be careful.

Got a giant oak in our yard that produces Chicken and big ones like clockwork.

Got that right. Be very careful and know what you are picking. If your not quite sure on one, leave it

i would gladly trade anybody some Golden chantrels for some turkey tails... they dont grow in my neck of the woods due to no hardwoods. this was my haul a couple days ago.





turkey tails are great medicine..
