I have tried but have never found them....

I should try around the cabin, but I never get there early enough in the spring, and when I do I am attacked by fish and dare not look for mushrooms.

Morels are the only ones I would trust myself to be able to ID.

I really need someone to show me how it is done. I think it is too sandy around here for them. I have actually read a lot about mushrooms but am too afraid of killing myself to try any... Like the chicken of the woods or whatever it is called..

My moms friend finds grocery bags full of Morels when they go and look. They wont tell us where though!

One of my close friends hints them down here and finds a bunch. I've never looked or tried on. If you recall when I went on my north shore excursion last fall I found some lobster mushrooms and tried one and I'm still kicking.

It is definitely nerve wracking a bit to eat a wild mushroom as a noob hunter

Sneak a IPhone into their car...... then use the find a phone to see where he is.......



BUT do not listen to "furry boots" as he would hear that a mile before you got there.

I've heard about people having limited success with establishing morels by blending up fresh picked morels with wood ash, wood shavings, and yogurt I believe. Then you work that into the soil in places that would be ideal (east facing hillside under trees I think?) and wait

You should become a certified mushroom hunter and train the rest of us....

Chicken of the woods is easy to identify . Easy to find up north in the fall . I find them every fall at the lake . There is also a white coral looking one that is edible . Narrowed it down to 2 species both edible . Hen of the woods is good but I have never seen one up there . They are rare here . I finally seeded some here . They grow on the same oak stumps every year . I got gifted some and put some of it around some stumps . I have some frozen . I may seed a stump up north .

is chicken of the woods the one that grows as a flat plate off the side of trees? does it get an orange coating on it?

There is far more annoying songs than that! Like Pillowtalk or Work!
