Photos A Walk in Nature

Little bit of shroom hunting action... Probably the most photogenic thing my knives and I do, tbh.

Great thread!! Here's one from today, more to come.

Hi Scott, the photo is not showing

Superb pics !
This one looks like a bird viewing blind. It reminded me of some pics I took at a conservation area close to home about this time last year. I'll post them below

Cool pics , nice knife ! Very nice color coordination between the knife and mushroom
What type of mushroom is it ?


Cooper Marsh by the Saint Lawrence river in eastern Ontario

Those are Morels. Best eating mushrooms in North America, I'd guess.

Love Morels.

Wow, nice harvest Mark

I know zilch about mushrooms.
Last fall we came upon this big white balls in the forest. When we got home I searched a bit, watched videos and was pretty convinced they were giant puffball mushrooms and very tasty too.
I shared pics in the Guardians thread and got further confirmation that indeed they were "good eatin"
So the next day I was on a mission to go and get them but all my dreams of mushroom foraging and eating were crushed by my daughters lol.
They were NOT going to have Dad eat some mushrooms which he does not know ANYTHING about just because he read it on the internet

Thanks, Dan!
Yep, those look like puffballs to me. Tell your girls you just wanted to be a "fun guy"

I’m not a big mushroom hunter (I’ll spare you the dumb jokes about not being a good enough shot, or not being able to catch them ). Most everyone else around here is, and according to some of my buddies, my little 2 acres of woods should be prime location. Lived here since 97 and have never found a single one. For years I figured my retired neighbor was sneaking on and getting them when I was at work, to this day, he says he never has!
He’s a great guy, I know he wouldn’t do that, I just enjoy teasing him about it.

Morels are the only ones I trust myself to harvest and eat from the wild. I have 6 acres with some good morel habitat, but I've found exactly one on my land. Its a skill to find them regularly.

That's quite the haul Mark

Your daughters were right! In fact these are aliens from... (I'm not allowed to disclose the planet since they took me for a ride in the flying saucer).
Would have told u more but must leave, the white car is waiting to take me and get my daily sweets... Uhhh let me tell you, all doctors ain't bad guys.

A note about puffballs: only eat them when they're white inside. Once they go yellow they're too ripe and probably unpleasant tasting. I've never tried a yellow one to know, but the puffball guys I know say you dont want any.

 

[AndreLinoge]

Love Morels.

Either that's a tiny little tailgate or those are some serious meatballs. Very uniform flush there, nice!

Driving back home from our walk today

Took my yellow cv Sodbuster Jr along.
The forest is filling in with green pretty quickly
