Mushroom Huntin!
- Thread starter jarlaxle
- Start date
Morels, chanterelles, black trumpet chanterelles, honey mushrooms, blewits, prince agarics, king boletes and white king boletes, shaggy manes, hedgehog mushrooms, white truffles, candy caps, and many more. Good eatin'. Good fun.
It's a bit late in the season for most of the fungi in my area, but there are still some good ones coming.

We used to get the ones growing in cow patties around Gainesville, FL.
Made for some interesting evenings! LOL
Psilo something or other.
Wish I could remember, but the late '60's early 70's are kinda foggy.

Yea that would be quite the experience if they grew wild
. I just got back from the woods with no luck. I think the ground is still a bit to cool.- Joined

I can't wait to get out, unfortunately the morels don't show here until the aecond half of May. There is still a foot of snow in the bush here now. We have an active mycological society, and the local favourites are (in order of appearance):
the Verpas and Morels (yellow and black), the red caps (Leccinum), the Oyster mushrooms, King Boletes, Hericium, puffballs, shaggy manes, hedgehogs, and Honey mushrooms.
My personal favourites are the Morels, followed by the hedgehogs.

Probably enough of us have experimented in the past. But it bugs me that we are talking about it. Some kid who might not have otherwise never dreamed of this stuff before, may now check it out. I have seen people changed to the point that they will never be the same person they were after doing this. Much less getting a hold of the wrong ones. Who wants that on there hands?

puffballs only for me, I usually start looking for them when steelies starts to run, which is around...now.
Where about are you in KC? I'm just south of Olathe, and have always wanted to hunt a few morrells. Supposed to rain tonight and/or tomorrow; might have to walk in the woods.

I luv going in the woods for morels, nothin could be finer! Do you use paperbags to store em when you find them? and not plastic! I have a book on how to dry em out (if I could only find it) so I could have em all year! I read their great with scrambled eggs, I gotta try it. Has anyone ever found them in the fall, I understand they grow then too.

I used to make my own roe bags, cured in Borax, for steel head/browns. I fished the Wilmot/Bowmanville creeks and the Ganaraska river. Nothing and I mean nothing compares to a big fresh steelhead straight in from lake Ontario. Insane ! Only thing out west here that compares is a big laker or pike, but they still don't have the line burning runs of a steelhead. I tip my hat to that fish. :thumbup: Sorry about the tangential thread jack, I just flashed down memory lane for a second.
I also pick shaggy mane mushrooms, but the show up after the first frost of fall out here.- Joined

Hey upnorth, those are the exact same streams I go to... One big reason I haven't head you ways is that I miss the great spring and fall runs of steels and salmons!!
