Anyone into 'shrooms??

[Andy]

I joined the local mycological club and hope to learn to not die eating wild mushrooms. I was given a Hen of the Woods years ago by an acquaintance and cooked it with wine and grouse breasts and told myself, "I'm gonna do that someday." So hopefully virus notwithstanding I'm going to learn this year. I don't trust me and a book on this one!

A worthy endeavor for sure. My success rate finding morels in the spring is not good.

I hear you !

I went out behind my house one day looking for them just for the heck of it and looked for about two hours finding perhaps six .

A friend that loves them came out to try his luck just as I got back to the house . He stayed out perhaps an hour and came back with enough to fill a five gallon bucket .

......cooked over a campfire in bacon grease. Sleep in a tent, hunt spring gobbler 'til noon, trout fish the afternoon with a side of morel hunting...... Lord, those were the days!!!!!!!

The only thing I have going for me is stamina to walk and keep looking so I hope that helps.

Doesn't get much better than chanterelles in the lowcountry. Picked these while waiting on a deer at Cheeha Combahee.

Wow. Those look great! I love cooking. So if I can shoot a grouse with a Parker and cook it with mushrooms I pick I’m going to pretty much buy everyone a drink on this forum.

This is a book you might like 1000 pages. Includes colored pictures in helping to I’d.

Many thanks! I'll get the book and hope the club meets this year.

Try the Chanterelle mushroom soup recipe on the Hanks Shaw Hunter-Angler-Gardener-Cook website. It is fantastic.
Love a good summer rainy day, because I will be in the woods gathering chanterelles the next day.
