The only wild mushroom I absolutely know is edible as taught to me by my Dad and uncles. I also have fond memories of my Babci (grandmother) drying them while strung on white store string behind her coal stove. A handful rehydrated in any kind of soup make for a welcome taste treat. I always have a bag with me when hunting grouse in the earlier part of the grouse season here in PA. No telling when you come across them and especially so in briars, logged off areas and on decaying stumps. Clipped as low as possible with a hunting knife, cull any showing brown or bug holes in the stem, and then into the bag.

Still no positive ID of the clump in the pic I posted yesterday?

Frank, Station 3, the stump? Thank God no man would ever relieve himself there...
