Morel season has been very good. In most areas now it seems that they are starting to age some. Hopefully with all the rain we will get one last flush. I...

Today, I found what I believe to be two types of edible: laetiporus sulfureus, chicken mushroom; and pleurotus ostreatus, oyster mushrooms. I was surprised to...
Good! It is rather early for the sulphur shelf but mushrooms are as fickle as some women. Pleurotus is right on schedule...but the schedule is rather broad. ...
good to see some traffic here. I am new to the list - had sooooo many mushrooms in my woods last year, and only felt confident enough to eat the puffballs in...

Congrats on the Sulfur Shelf! I found about 10lbs. in 2 shelves on an old fallen oak about 3 weeks ago! They made the lack of Morels more palatable. This is...
... warming ... friends, ... WOW! Very nice Sulphur Shelf find. Now I can't wait to get out and check my favorite spots to see if anything is growing. I was...
