I'm not naming names Duke, I just remember some folks saying you had done something or another that wasn't kosher with them. I don't remember the details, nor who said it. No biggie dude. If you wanna know what oysters look like, I suggest heading over to google image or your local patch of willow trees. The getting should be good right now with all this cool rain. |

David what exactly are you talking about too! And who is ppl, do you guys have the right Duke? This is news to me! |
| Duke| | Kewanee, IL | | November 18, 2009
Dryad Saddle what are you talking about? I haven't scammed anybody out of anything. I said if somebody wanted to show me what the oyster mushrooms looked like we could go to one of my spots! Hard to scam them at my spot. Don't be talkin smack if you don't know what your talking about. What split are you talking about! Earth to Dryad! |
| David| | SW IL | | November 17, 2009
Mikey, I think you're describing stinkhorns. Do they stink? LOL Very unlikely they are morels... |
| Mikey B| | Bowling Green, KY | | November 17, 2009
I have found a patch of what I believe to be morels under an elm today. They are tall white hollow stems with a silverish black heads. Fresh picked they have a greenish brown gunk in the crevises of the head. The weather here has been in the 60's lately but today it is cold and wet. Could these be morels or something different? They sure do look like them. |

KC R&M: Yes, those are mostly Elm leaves. That was the first day out in the spring in the morning. I'm thankful I had my phone with to take a pic. I stumbled upon about 20 of those in that one spot. Those greys 'are' hard to spot David! Not like them big yellows :) |
| KC R&M| | | | November 16, 2009
OK,I do see a Silver Maple in the one pic......those are really nice! |
| KC R&M| | | | November 16, 2009
Metal,that's a nice pic of the Greys,I couldn't tell,are those in Elm leaves? |
| David| | SW IL | | November 14, 2009
Nice pic metal, i love the little greys, they are such a challenge to hunt.
Lifestudent, it's really not a big deal dude, oysters do grow like weeds on just about every dead willow you'll come across in the right conditions. It's not like we're giving away the map to the holy grail. I did cringe after I posted that though, because I had remembered ppl complaining about some things duke had done in the past. Whatever. The season is winding down anyway. |

Just wanted to post my favorite pic I took from this Spring. Hope next year was as good as this. I can't friken wait man!

So this guy persanlly scammed someone out of their private mushroom spot, Duke provides a DVD showing where it was located with GPS coordinated and now veryone knows where it is so they must split the morels on 2 and each take a half or possible a third just because he asked about a mushroom that grows like weeds in cooler wet weather and often where the environment naturally occurs? Just trying to follow here....old dead trees near streams are full around here and with that weird July, morel woods produced oysters vicariously. I expect to be finding oysters until at least Mid december and all this guy wants help in IDing them? Granted "google" click on image and type the word works for most but as rule we try to help people on the board, I just hope your ground temp doesn't stay below 40F through May |

Gus, Nice find. Try to get a spore print. If it is pink or pinkish-brown, my guess would be Pluteus cervinus, the Deer mushroom. |

Why would anybody want to help someone whos just going to use the info you give them to make DVD's and sell them online so you will have others to compete against? Thats what this Duke is going to do if you help him. Hes one of the reasons we have so many newbies in the woods these days. Some folks I know took him out along the river and showed him some spots to hunt and he published it to the world. If you want to keep your spots don't be telling everybody online where they are at and what to look for especially this clown. |
| Gus| | | | November 13, 2009
Found these inside a woodpeckers nest..

| David| | SW IL | | November 13, 2009
Duke, the latin name for Oysters is Pleurotus Ostreatus. They're still out there, but they might be all dried up with the dry weather we've had. The easiest way to find them is to hunt a creek, lake, or river bank that has dead willow trees. They are very gregarious on willows. Otherwise, they are a fairly uncommon find in hardwood timber in my experience. The best host trees seem to be Elm, Poplar, and Hickory. Good luck! |

Are any of you fall mushroom hunters finding oyster mushrooms still? Do you know there scientific name. I'm in N.C. Illinois between QC,s and Peoria and would be interested in just going on a hunt and learning how to find some. I could get us in on some property if you have the time. LET ME KNOW! |
| Tasso| | N.E., IL | | November 11, 2009
Gribnik, I checked three of my honey spots and no luck. I think they are done for the year in my area, but what do I know? Maybe you'll have better luck. Hope we can hunt together next year. |
| METAL!| | COOK, IL | | November 10, 2009
Yeah, thats what I though David. Well, it was a good year. I will know more by next Fall for some better Fall Hunting. I have so many Morel spots to check next spring, I don't think I'll get to them all with my schedule. David, if you or a couple of your friends wanna come up from your neck of the woods, gimme a holler. Be nice to get a hunt together with some of the people on here. Always nice to make new aquaintences. Like I said, there's plenty of spots up here to check. Be good all. I'll post if I find anything else this Fall. Definately takin some more hikes. METAL! HAPPY HOLIDAY"S TO ALL! |

Tasso,
Great! Thank you.
Then I can go on Thursday (or even Saturday) - depends of your report. |

| Tasso| | N.E., IL | | November 10, 2009
Gribnik, I'm hoping to get out for a look on Wed. Will let you know if I find anything. |
| Gribnik| | Eagle, WI | | November 10, 2009
My friend yesterday found honey mushrooms in one of Naperville, IL parks.
Is anybody else who is finding honey mushrooms in IL?

still findin hens and lions mane here in southern Mo.
oysters and blewits too |
| David| | SW IL | | November 10, 2009
Yep, it's pretty much wrapped up metal, although with the warm temps lately, there might be some stragglers out there somewhere. Maybe some blewits? You can still find oysters and velvet foots(be careful with these, they can resemble deadly galerina) through the winter during warm spells though... |
| METAL!| | CROOK, IL | | November 09, 2009
its all over, isnt it? |
| Joey Z| | | | November 05, 2009
I did see them in peoples lawns (few days ago)... but no the ones I pick are always on grassy heavily used trails..same places round oaks i go for hens.. only once did i find 1 by itself... theres usually a bunch scattered when you find em. They are great in soups, because theyre so liquifying when cooked. Tasty lil suckers...bring em right home to at least sautee, or theyll turn to ink within an hour or so after picked, so be prepared.. I wont take em unless, I know Ill use em right away..good luck. |

Just found half a pound of really nice elm oysters while playing disc golf! |
| METAL!| | COOK, IL | | November 04, 2009
I cant believe this! I googled imaged Shaggy Manes and never even knew those were them! I've been finding those on my customers properties the last week or so, growing in their lawns/ mulch borders. I kicked them over just to see what they looked like! Inexperienced fall shroomer loses! HA! METAL! |
