Love a good summer rainy day, because I will be in the woods gathering chanterelles the next day.

One of my favorite wild game chefs. His stuff is consistently good, but a little to Mexican heavy for my tastes. Only about one out of ten of his email recipes are not Mexican influenced. His books are awesome. I really hope I can learn something because I can think of nothing better than marrying what you pick with what you shoot or catch.

Andy, I love wild shrooms too. Been picking morels for years. Recently just got some chanterells on the gamelands. I have found "spongies" (boletes) here too. I keep my eyes open for hen of the woods but haven't run across them. We do have "popenkes" (honey mushrooms) which are very very good too. Nothing like venison stroganoff with morels!! If you have any info on the myco club near you let me know. I always prefer hands on ID from experienced mycologists over comparing pics in a book.

Awesome Mike! I’ll get you info. Apparently they do field trips and then cook and beer is involved. I’ll see you this week to renew my membership and shoot! The club is like $15 a year

You say “shrooms” and my first thought are the ones that are hallucinogenic lols ! Morels are hunted by many in central VA almost religiously , sorry to say I never developed a taste for them .

When I did the steam show circuit in VA , NC , MD and PA there was one guy that used to help me some with my Frick , he was a dairy farmer / mushroom grower . Back then he’d bring big schatakis a small frying pan and a stick of butter . Sit the pan on top my boiler and cook the mushrooms and we’d eat them with fresh cucumbers and tomatoes . Pretty tastey as well !

Never said I was a fan of the ones that are . But I'm of the correct age to have been growing up when people my age were big into "shrooms" and yes I mean the type that would make you take a trip and never leave the farm

I picked about 2 pounds last week in Northern Michigan. Its been to cold to get a good batch. I use to get bags before the ash trees died. Cooked with wild rice and a grouse or two will make your taste buds slap the roof of your mouth.

Harvested some morels two weeks ago. They are a true tasty treat with a steak or bird... and a fine wine!
