Mushroom foragers

[duluthralphie]

Maple , I thought maybe oyster but didn't dare touch them. We have had elm trees here but I think they are all dead from Dutch elm disease many yrs ago. I had a bad experience with cutting dead elm, standing dead is usually great burning wood. No bark on it 80yr old father in law knew what it was chunked up by the house. Said he couldn't remember if it was hard to split or didn't burn good, he was right on both...

10-4. Splitting elm is a special kind of fun!! Twisting curving crap...

I have had elm mushroom growing on box elder here.

Better than the book my brother gave me one Christmas , actually a good read on cooking old yard birds and good recipes but funny anyway

FWI, those pics I posted were not reishi.

Luckily I have a guy at work that knew when I showed him pics (I didn't quite believe him so looked more into it when I got home...he was right.), and pics of the chaga, and dang he showed me some pics of chaga he found that were huge monsters.
Next day I asked him reishi die off every yr right? Yup, and are not hard woody things either right? Nope.
I don't know why I thought they were.
I found reishi first yr I was looking for chaga but they were too old, and bug eaten. Got thinking I posted pics here on another thread, searched and found them. Think I'll do a little bow hunting tomorrow and see if I can find the same stump, when I found them that yr it was well into rifle season prob end of Nov.

They are when fresh still white underneath but not like hard wood and not what I was thinking the other day.

I love walking around my property looking at Mushrooms. Some I got pictures of this fall. I don’t eat anything I find. I keep hoping to see a dwarf though....Maybe I would if I ate them

We used to get some of the strangest little red ones in the horse stalls... They appeared to be very excited and very male...
